Reviews"The book is suitable for a wide range of readers--students, bird watchers, natural-science teachers--but is especially so for artists searching for clear, practical information. They will find more than one would expect: basic structure, skeletons, skulls, various ratios, plumage movements, even courtship behaviors! In the chapter, The Art of Flying , Simá½¹ delves into perspective and proportions during flight. Of particular benefit is the weight given to actually entering natural habitats rather than copying photographs of birds. Juan Verela Simá½¹ is a productive, much-lauded author and illustrator who also happens to be an ornithologist. Countless species from all over the world are represented. And the artwork is terrific." -- Arts & Activities
