De: Professor John Kricher

Narrado por: Professor John Kricher

An esteemed professor of biology at Wheaton College, John Kricher leads a fascinating discussion of the approximately 10,000 species of birds that share our world. In these engaging lectures, Kricher expands on such topics as bird anatomy, the mechanics of flight, migration, reproduction, and song. The professor's lively presentation demonstrates how understanding the traits, life cycle, and evolution of birds is critical for an understanding of the origins and evolution of life on earth - and why conservation plays a vital role in the environment's delicate balance.

Great Bird Intro

This is a nice collection of lectures about birds. Not a whole lot of new, startling information, but a nice introduction. The author/lecturer was able to express his passion for birds and for science.

Great Book on Birds

The book was concise and enjoyable. Easy to understand with lovely stories and examples. Would read again.

Fun and informative

I flew through this audio lecture. It's loaded with information and the reader/lecturer was wonderful. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in ornithological studies.

A wonderful beginners guide to the study of birds

The very good start to compel the reader to learn more about ornithology and to begin a new hobby as well as conservation efforts that are needed.

Excellent course for beginners

I strongly recommend this course for anyone wanting to know more about birds. The information is very thoughtfully selected and delivered wonderfully. The enthusiasm and passion of Prof.Kricher is evident throughout the lectures and he keeps the listener engaged throughout and wanting more.

Great!

Very similar to an actual ornithology class I took at a university. Told in a conversational way. I definitely recommend!

Entertaining and informative

A useful and workable balance of information and narrative in the audible version. It's definitely overpriced so use one of your free credits.

Incredible

I've been a birder for a few years now and this book has been perfect for me to learn more about all aspects of the lives of birds.

Extremely Informative and kept my interest

I really liked the way this author wrote this book. It is casual and sometimes funny dialogue that is truly biology.
Professor John Kricher should be commended for teaching in such an effective way.
I learned quite a bit, and listen to it over and over. Nice voice as well.
I wish it was longer. How about a second one...hint.
