A marvelous, original fusion of art and science
This extensively revised and expanded edition of The Unfeathered Bird features hundreds of new illustrations and a new text exploring the origins, anatomy, evolution and diversity of birds across deep time
Since it was first published in 2013, The Unfeathered Bird has established itself as a favourite among bird lovers and dinosaur enthusiasts everywhere. Katrina van Grouw has completely reimagined this modern classic, adding more than 300 stunning illustrations and extensive new text, exploring the relationships between birds and their origins and position in the dinosaur lineage. Each exquisite anatomical drawing in this lavish large-format book is based on direct research and observation and a lifetime of accumulated knowledge. Many show articulated skeletons of animals engaged in natural behaviour: a seriema dispatching a snake, hovering hummingbirds, singing songbirds or Deinonychus mantling a victim! A unique, beautifully presented and scientifically rigorous exploration of bird evolution and diversification after the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs, A New Unfeathered Bird is a celebration of all birds, across all time.
