The Magnificent Chicken by Tamara Staples
With backyard chicken keeping and urban farming at an all-time high, the proudest of purebred poultry take center stage once again in this fully revised and expanded edition of the classic The Fairest Fowl, now retitled The Magnificent Chicken . Updated in hardcover with even more chickens and an enlarged resource section, this celebration of the wonder, peculiarity, and magnificence of championship chickens showcases more than 40 astonishing breeds in glamorous photos-many brand new-and informative text, while an introduction by Ira Glass explores the finer points of poultry shows and chicken portraiture.
Tamara Staples, born and raised in the Carolinas, attended her first poultry show in 1988 with her uncle. After earning a degree in photography, she began to take portraits of the birds in earnest in 1998. Her work has appeared in Harper's Magazine, Utne Reader and many more. Ira Glass is the host of the award-winning public radio program This American Life.
