Marathon Migrants
Theunis Piersma, (autor fotografii Jan van de Kam)
twarda okładka
Celebrating the birds that connect places and people across our planet.
Hołd złożony ptakom migrującym.
Absolutny rarytas dla wszystkich zainteresowanych "siewkami"
‘Marathon Migrants’ combines the narrative of bird ecologist and Wadden researcher Theunis Piersma with the sublime pictures of Jan van de Kam, a high regarded bird photographer. Van de Kam and Piersma have worked together for decades and in many places in the world, on mudflats of the Dutch Wadden Sea, Mauritania, South America and Northwest Australia. The scientific eye of the photographer has resulted in more than just beautiful images of nature. Shorebirds draw invisible lines in the air and while migrating they express incredible ecological insights and navigation skills. They travel thousands of kilometers from feeding areas to breeding areas. This requires physical performances which are similar to running a marathon.
‘The delightful combination of wonder and insight is our best bet at nature conservation. This book is a fairy tale and a scientific discovery in one. The epic journeys of shorebirds in all corners of our blue planet cannot but baffle us earthlings.’ Johan van de Gronden, in his capacity as CEO WWF-Netherlands.
