ABC The Book Show's Kirsten Garrett talks to Tim Birkhead about his new book, The Wisdom of Birds: An Illustrated History of Ornithology.

From the site (http://www.abc.net.au/rn/bookshow/storie...):-

The devastating effects of climate change are varied and many. As the earth becomes hotter an unprecedented number of species continue to disappear from the planet. Many of these are our feathered friends. Professor Tim Birkhead is one of the world's leading ornithologists. In his new book, he aims to remind us what might soon be missing from our skies.

Has anyone read the book? I have Avian Ecology on my shelves, a book Birkhead co-authored with Chris Perrins.
