Jardins d'oiseaux
de Therrien (Ed. Modus Vivendi) Isbn : 2895230285
4.95 € / 32.47 FF
Du colibri à l'aigle majestueux, du plus coloré au plus noir, les oiseaux sont parmi les plus belles créatures terrestre. Nous les observons pour le plaisir des yeux, nous les étudions pour comprendre leur comportement, nous nous en inspirons pour aller toujours plus loin, toujours plus haut.
On ne s'etonne pas, alors, que ces anges volatiles aient tant inspiré les poètes et les auteurs de chansons, dont les textes nous ramènent tout droit à nos propres fanstasmes d'envol.
Evadez-vous dans ce petit livre ailé, il vous aidera à oublier les obstacles de la vie quotidienne, à vous sentir plus légers ; il vous fera planer.

de Les Beletsky, Gordon H. Orians (Ed. University of Chicago Press) Isbn : 0226041875
25.89 € / 169.83 FF
Drawing on detailed data from their sixteen-year study of red-winged blackbirds in the marshes of Washington's Columbia National Wildlife Refuge, Beletsky and Orians analyze the information redwings use to make breeding-season decisions and the consequences these decisions have for lifetime reproductive success. Because male and female redwings make different, and often independent, decisions--males focus on territory acquisition and maintenance, while females must choose when and where to nest...

Canards
de Yves Thonnérieux (Ed. Editions Sud Ouest) Isbn : 2879016355
24.90 € / 163.33 FF
Disney, en créant le personnage de Donald, a forgé un mythe planétaire : les canards figurent parmi les oiseaux les plus populaires qui soient. Avec leur silhouette rondelette, ce fameux bec conique qui les identifie au premier coup d'oeil, une démarche un peu clownesque lorsqu'ils évoluent sur le sol, mais leur aisance à flotter à la surface de l'élément aquatique, les canards raflent la palme de la bonhomie et canalisent la sympathie de tout un chacun. Dès son plus jeune âge, l'enfant s'extasie à la vision d'un canard. L'adulte lui emboîte le pas et devient parfois, comme c'est le cas de l'auteur de ce livre, un inconditionnel de ces oiseaux si attachants. Cet ouvrage n'a d'autre but que de partager cet amour des canards avec ceux qui les apprécient déjà, et avec les autres, qui se laiss...

The Dippers
de Stephanie J. Tyler, etc., Stephen Ormerod, Bryn Ad (Ed. Poyser) Isbn : 0856610933
35.52 € / 233 FF
Dippers are the world's only truly aquatic passerine birds and for the birdwatcher and naturalist the Dipper's remarkable swimming and diving abilities are only added to by the beauty of their preferred but threatened habitat, the fast flowing streams of the wild uplands. Territorial behaviour, breeding biology, diet, movements and population dynamics are all discussed in relation to the Dipper's adaptations to an aquatic lifestyle in environments coming under increasing pressure from man's current changes in land use. The text is supported by numerous figures and photographs, and also by the delightful drawings of Darren Rees.

Dinosaurs of the Air: The Evolution and Loss of Flight in Dinosaurs and Birds
de Gregory S. Paul (Ed. Johns Hopkins University Press) Isbn : 0801867630
44.61 € / 292.62 FF
Dinosaurs of the Air: The Evolution and Loss of Flight in Dinosaurs and Birds presents the most recent work of renowned evolutionary scientist and dinosaur illustrator Gregory Paul.

Paul argues provocatively for the idea that the ancestor-descendant relationship between the dinosaurs and birds can on occasion be reversed, and that many...
