Описание:
Named by Forbes as one of the 12 Best Books About Birds and Birding in 2017
After stumbling upon a book of photographs depicting extinct animals, B.J. Hollars became fascinated by creatures that are no longer with us: specifically, extinct North American birds. How, he wondered, could we preserve so beautifully on film what we’ve failed to preserve in life?
And so begins his yearlong journey to find out, one that leads him from bogs to art museums, from archives to Christmas Bird Counts, until he at last comes as close to extinct birds as he ever will during a behind-the-scenes visit at the Chicago Field Museum.
Heartbroken by the birds we’ve lost, Hollars takes refuge in those that remain. Armed with binoculars, a field guide, and knowledgeable friends, he begins his transition from budding birder to environmentally conscious citizen, a first step on a longer journey toward understanding the true tragedy of a bird’s song silenced forever.
Told with charm and wit, Flock Together is a remarkable memoir that shows how “knowing” the natural world—even just a small part—illuminates what it means to be a global citizen and how only by embracing our ecological responsibilities do we ever become fully human. A moving elegy to birds we’ve lost, Hollars’s exploration of what we can learn from extinct species will resonate in the minds of readers long beyond the final page.

Описание:
A colony of penguins is known to wait through the winter months for their adult members to return from fishing trips with food for the rest of the group. This action is referred to as "Feeding the Flock."
In this special edition of The Red Penguin Collection, we share the recipes of many of the members of our literary flock as we celebrate meals bringing us back together.
Even in the coldest of winters, sharing a meal with the Red Penguin family can be as easy as cracking open a book
