Zustand: Used. Ah, the 1970s! A decade of flared trousers, psychedelic wallpaper, and now?legend has it?a rather peculiar obsession with our feathered friends. Enter "Birds of Sea and Coast," a tome by the esteemed Lars Jonsson. Published by Penguin, this volume is not just a book; it?s a profound exploration of the avian world…that you never knew you needed. Or perhaps you did, and you?re now questioning your life choices while eyeballing a faded illustration of a puffin. In this weighty compendium, you won?t merely find birds; you?ll unearth an entire avifauna extravaganza. Jonsson takes readers on a winged journey through the maritime realms, where seagulls appear as the misunderstood rebels of the sky and coastal birds are portrayed as the hipsters of nature?always perched at the trendiest spots along the shoreline, sipping on imaginary lattes made from brine. You may even find yourself empathetic toward the herons, those loners who stand still in marshes like hip youth contemplating their next Instagram post. With illustrations more vivid than your Uncle Nigel?s tales of his ?epic? fishing trip, the pages flutter with life and the scent of nostalgia. Each chapter could almost be a love letter to the coast?an area where the tide rolls in with all the grace of a ballerina on roller skates and the salt in the air possesses an aroma stronger than your last failed attempt at baking bread. Perhaps it?s a metaphor for life, or maybe it?s just Jonsson?s way of showing that birds are better at living in harmony with nature than most humans. You decide. Now, I know what you?re thinking: ?What makes this book special?? Well, if you?ve ever found yourself wondering why a gull has a cheeky grin or why the oystercatcher seems to be plotting its next meal with a lawyer?s precision, this book is the philosophical inquiry your soul has been craving. Jonsson?s musings meander through esoteric reflections on bird behaviour, and you might find yourself nodding in earnest agreement?entirely forgetting that you?re sitting in a café instead of observing them in their natural habitat. Of course, we mustn?t shy away from the book?s idiosyncratic charm. The photographs, though slightly grainy with the unmistakable vibe of the ?70s, add an authenticity that newer books simply cannot replicate. Who needs HD when you can have a little bit of vintage whimsy? You might even feel a sense of kinship with the slightly rumpled pages, as if they tell the story of a reader who once sat on a beach, lost in thought about the most existential of questions: ?Why do seagulls scream?? Condition: Used. This book has seen some things?probably more than you have?so expect the occasional coffee stain and a dog-eared page or two. It carries the weight of wisdom and experience, like a lighthouse keeper who moonlights as a poet. The spine is a bit cracked, but isn?t that just the sign of a well-loved book? Like a favourite pair of shoes, slightly scuffed but brimming with stories. This volume may not have the pristine allure of a brand-new edition, but it certainly exudes character, much like a seasoned sailor with tales that stretch beyond the horizon. So, if you?re in the market for a literary voyage that sails through the mysteries of coastal avian life while simultaneously allowing you to feel superior to your non-birdwatching peers, "Birds of Sea and Coast" is waiting for you. Maybe it?s not the book of the year, but it?s certainly the book of a year?a year that wanted to be remembered with fondness and perhaps just a dash of absurdity. Grab your binoculars, your sense of irony, and prepare to be serenaded by the fascinating world of birds?after all, who wouldn?t want to unravel the songs of the sea and coast through the eyes of Lars Jonsson? Get it from Crappy Old Books, where treasures like this await to ruffle your feathers and tickle your fancy.

Hard Cover. Zustand: Very Good. This is the second of five handy reference books which cover all bird species regularly nesting or occurring in Europe. It deals with those species which for some period of the year have as their principal habitat the open sea or coastal areas, excluding the Mediterranean and the Iberian Peninsula…. Lars Jonsson's illustrations have been internationally acclaimed: they are unsurpassed in their depiction of posture, plumage, movement and character and, together with the text, they demonstrate his first-hand knowledge of birds and their behaviour. Size: 5" by 8" Tall. Numerous Colour Illustrations (illustrator).
