The latest title in the blockbuster series, Birds brings you up close and personal with eight different bird species in astounding motion.

Seeing is believing with the innovative and bestselling Photicular books, and now Birds gives readers a fascinating, up-close look at bird behaviour in living motion. The book features eight incredible moving images: Penguins hopping, Grebes in an elaborate courtship dance, preening lovebirds, the blinking eyes of an owl, geese migrating in V formation, a hummingbird sipping nectar from a flower, and a mother songbird feeding its new hatchlings.

The opening essay focuses on the incredible world of birds and bird behavioursβ€”the weird, the surprisingβ€”and birds' remarkable ability to learn new behaviours. Each animal image is accompanied by a profile that includes information on the species. It's an aviary that you can hold in your hands!

About the Author

Dan Kainen is an artist, designer, and inventor living in New York City. He is the creator of the bestselling Photicular books, including Safari, Ocean, Polar, Jungle, and Wild. While working with some of the pioneers of holography, Dan created a special spotlight that was used by Soho's Museum of Holography to light holograms. The related field of holography led to Dan's interest in lenticular art and, in turn, after nearly a decade of research and experimentation, to the creation of his "Motion Viewer," his third patent in that field and the inspiration for Safari and the other Photicular books.
