And just because birds evolved from a single flying ancestor doesnt mean they are structurally all the same. With over 385 stunning drawings depicting 200 species  The Unfeathered Bird is a richly illustrated book on bird anatomy that offers refreshingly original insights into what goes on beneath the feathered surface. Each exquisite drawing is made from an actual specimen and reproduced in sumptuous large format. The birds are shown in lifelike positions and engaged in behavior typical of the species: an underwater view of the skeleton of a swimming loon  the musculature of a porpoising penguin  and an unfeathered sparrowhawk plucking its prey. Jargon-free and easily accessible to any reader  the lively text relates birds anatomy to their lifestyle and evolution  examining such questions as why penguins are bigger than auks  whether harrier hawks really have double-jointed legs  and the difference between wing claws and wing spurs. A landmark in popular bird books  The Unfeathered Bird is a must for anyone who appreciates birds or bird art. A unique book that bridges art  science  and history Over 385 beautiful drawings  artistically arranged in a sumptuous large-format book Accessible  jargon-free textthe only book on bird anatomy aimed at the general reader Drawings and text all based on actual bird specimens Includes most anatomically distinct bird groups Many species never illustrated before\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665808252981,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691151342","price":263.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691151342.jpg?v=1782408054","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-unfeathered-bird-9780691151342","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
