Reviews
A fascinating and delightful book. . . . An excellent read for anyone interested in this group of birds., This authoritative and well-researched volume is an ideal source of reference for anyone who has ever been intrigued, annoyed or charmed by these wonderful birds, A Fascinating and Delightful Book... an Excellent Read for Anyone Interested in this Group of Birds., The sort of monograph I treasure and seek out, a work that draws together around a totem animal centuries of relevant lore, a richness of iconographic treatments and the best natural history and natural science available to a lay researcher and engaged author, Boria Sax's Crow takes a broadly chronological approach, with an intriguing digression on scarecrows. There are strong themes in the way different cultures have thought about crows (and ravens)., Sax's book roams divertingly over the scientific and cultural history of the 'corvid' family, which includes the carrion crow, the raven, the rook, and the jackdaw, tracing ambivalent responses to the mischievous birds., In this vivid and enjoyable meditation on crows in art, literature, and history, Sax gives the genus Corvus the enthusiastic treatment it deserves., Sax looks at how [crows] have been at the center of myth, culture, and religion throughout human history, often as birds of ill omen or at least negative associations. It's an easy read despite the great wealth of material included, and the author keeps things grounded in accurate observation of the behavior of real-life birds. Enjoyable and educational for birders of all levels., "Sax's book roams divertingly over the scientific and cultural history of the 'corvid' family, which includes the carrion crow, the raven, the rook, and the jackdaw, tracing ambivalent responses to the mischievous birds.", A pleasure to read. I found it enjoyable, if somewhat disconcerting, to learn that the crow and its relatives have indeed been viewed in so many ways by humans and continue to be a soure of mystery and charm for us today., A pleasure to read.
