Deborah Samuels photographs are meant to inspire and teach. In this book she turns her lens toward the bird  and her images are as surprising as they are exquisite. From nest to egg to feather  these images are an exercise in seeing and a showcase of what photography can reveal: the impossibly soft feathers of ospreys; the iridescence of a bird-of-paradise; the curved  needle-like beak of a common scimitarbill; and the psychedelic hues of the aptly named resplendent quetzal. Samuel also photographs the nests and eggs of birds  showing us examples of incredible artistry and simple  natural perfection. Accompanying these images are detailed scientific descriptions of Samuels subjects  written by Mark Peck  an ornithological expert at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. An index detailing each speciesits common and scientific names  size  habitats  and breeding practicesmakes this more than a photography book  while the extraordinary images transform it into a sourcebook of colors  shapes  and designs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986476068917,"sku":"ByrdShop_3791382039","price":40.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783791382036.jpg?v=1770906489","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-extraordinary-beauty-of-birds-designs-patterns-and-details","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
