Based on personal experiences, interactions with other ornithologists and reading both newer and older literature, Bo Ekberg develops in this content-rich volume thoughts about evolution, ecology and faunal changes that occur in connection with the advance of human culture.
The author talks about scientific studies of the birds' living conditions and the impact on their life chances that comes with changes in society. With depictions of colorful personalities and their imprints in art and literature, the focus is on the aesthetic aspects of ornithology and on the emotional sides of bird interest. A particular dimension of human interaction with birds is addressed in a section dealing with falconers and hunting with falcons. Ekberg's well-written text is framed by historical and geographical perspectives that have developed through his professional practice as a high school teacher.
