Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Charles Darwin's Life With Birds by Clifford B Frith
Focuses exclusively on Darwin the ornithologist, not on biographical aspects of Darwin's life.
General readers and serious researchers will find much of interest.. * The Tablelander *
This is an original work that has never been attempted before, and is unique in coupling Darwin with birds. I am familiar with his Birds of Paradise book, so I know the author is capable of presenting fascinating information to the public. There is a huge and perpetual appetite for this subject. I would recommend it to others seeking an understanding of the role played by birds in the development of Darwin's thinking. * Peter Grant, Emeritus Professor of Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University *
For anyone interested in Darwin, birds, or the history of ornithology, this book is not just a reference but a fascinating read. Although detailed, it is very readable, interesting and insightful about not only the work of Charles Darwin, but also the 'modest' ornithologist himself. * Ruth Walker, British Trust for Ornithology *
