Summary:
"Birdpedia" is an illustrated compendium of bird facts and birding lore. Featuring nearly 200 entries—on topics ranging from plumage and migration to birds in art, literature, and folklore—this collection is brimming with wisdom and wit about all things avian. Christopher Leahy sheds light on 'hawk-watching,' 'twitching,' and other rituals from the sometimes mystifying world of birding that entail a good deal more than their names imply. He explains what kind of bird’s nests you can eat, why mocking birds mock, and many other curiosities that have induced otherwise sane people to peer into treetops using outrageously expensive optical equipment. Leahy shares illuminating insights about pioneering ornithologists such as John James Audubon and Florence Bailey, and describes unique bird behaviors such as anting, caching, duetting, and mobbing. He discusses avian fossils, the colloquial naming of birds, the science and history of ornithology, and more. The book’s convenient size makes it the perfect traveling companion to take along on your own avian adventures.

Ses « Leçons à mon fils sur la botanique » (1876), dont nous republions ici des extraits, s’efforcent à chaque fois d’ajouter un verbe au sujet : « la plante ».

Transformer le sujet en prédicat, la substance en action : voici la tâche de la botanique lorsqu’elle devient une forme d’ethnographie végétale.
