This is an essential guide to identifying 76 kinds, along with a fascinating history of human interactions with them.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What, exactly, is a sparrow? All birders (and many non-birders) have essentially the same mental image of a pelican, a duck, or a flamingo, and a guide dedicated to waxwings or kingfishers would need nothing more than a sketch and a single sentence to satisfactorily identify its subject. Sparrows are harder to pin down. This book covers one family (Passerellidae), which includes towhees and juncos, and 76 members of the sparrow clan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Birds have a human history, too, beginning with their significance to native cultures and continuing through their discovery by science, their taxonomic fortunes and misfortunes, and their prospects for survival in a world with ever less space for wild creatures. This book includes not just facts and measurements, but stories--of how birds got their names and how they were discovered--of their entanglement with human history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rick Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0547973160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780547973166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.40w x 1.50d","brand":"Rick Wright","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045649150207,"sku":"9780547973166","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f581bb7-9213-42e0-81b3-357370e74974.jpg?v=1684979927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peterson-reference-guide-to-sparrows-rick-wright-9780547973166","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
