Octavo, laminated boards,192 pp.,colour photographs, illustrations. An absorbing study of how birds think, revealing how science is exploding the myth of our feathered friends being 'bird brained', and how recent discoveries may call for us to re-evaluate how we identify and classify intelligence in other animals. This book starts by looking at the structures and functions of the avian brain, and moves on to examine different types of intelligence by profiling the extraordinary behaviours of a broad range of the species, studying the masterminds of the avian world, and examining what types of behaviour can be interpreted as 'intelligence' as we would recognize it. Bird Brain will not only look at the well-studied species such as New Caledonian crows and parrots, but also cast a broader eye over the behaviour of a wide range of species from around the world.…

Octavo, dustwrapper,400 pp.,colour photographs, maps. Looks in detail at the more than 1,300 species known today. Nocturnal, fast-flying and secretive, they are endlessly fascinating, yet extremely difficult to observe and catalogue. The diversity of bats is both rich and underestimated and the threats they face from humans are very real. This guide illuminates the world of bats and reveals their true nature as intelligent, social and deeply misunderstood creatures. This extravagantly illustrated handbook features the work of famed nature photographer Merlin D. Tuttle and in-depth profiles of 288 bats, from the Large Flying Fox, which has a wingspan of more than five feet, to the Bumblebee Bat, contender for the world's smallest mammal. Bats includes close-up images of these animals' delicate and intricate forms and faces, each shaped by evolution to meet the demands of an extraordinarily specialized life, and a thorough introduction which explores their natural history and unique adaptations to life on the wing.…

12mo in sixes, engraved title and pp. iv, [396]; pagination including three leaves of advertisements at end; with ten sepia plates (of, perhaps, 22 required); contemporary calf, gilt spine (spine and upper joint slightly defective; corners bumped). Second edition: first published in 1802. This anonymous dictionary of playwrights, actors and other performers does not concern itself with long-dead people (such as Shakespeare or Dryden) but concentrates only on the 18th century and current figures. However, it does have some rather peculiar priorities: there are a dozen double-column pages on Thomas Sheridan (1719-88), but barely more than one page on his famous son, and just one column on Sarah Siddons, despite including a portrait of this famous actress. The title page calls for 'twenty-two elegant engravings', but this copy only has ten apart from the engraved title page: the entry in A&R seems to imply that there should be twenty only, so this copy must lack some, but perhaps not as many as it would at first appear.
