{"product_id":"a-z-of-birds-book-bo-beolens-9781908241238","title":"A-Z of Birds","description":"In these entertaining birding anecdotes from around the world, Bo Beolens, alias the 'Fatbirder', traverses many of the planet's wild places, along with his wife Maggie, looking at birds  -  some familiar, others exotic, a few beyond a person's most extravagant expectations. On the way, he meets up with a wide variety of human, animal and bird characters and experiences a plenitude of amusing and sometimes bizarre happenstances, all told with the author's wellknown flair and panache. Certainly, his travels are a credit to his courage and fortitude in coming to terms with wild birds of different plume, hue and voice. The book, with a prelude by celebrity naturalist and broadcaster Mike Dilger, comprises twenty-six alphabetical 'chapters'  -  starting with A for Anhinga, the Snake-bird, and ending with Z for Zebra Finch  -  each being accompanied by a humorous drawing by cartoonist and illustrator Des Campbell.  A-Z of Birds will surely amuse and entertain all those who have a passion for birds and wish to be inspired by one who already has lots of first-hand experience of how to (usually) get the most out of travelling to far-flung lands to see them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49633907769617,"sku":"GOR006578156","price":11.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1908241233.jpg?v=1751156231","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/a-z-of-birds-book-bo-beolens-9781908241238","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
