'Maslen's book is a clarion call for Australia's brilliant but
disappearing birds.' Bob Brown, former Parliamentary Leader of the
Australian Greens In An Uncertain Future, Geoffrey Maslen takes us
into the fascinating lives of Australian birds, showing us how
intelligent they are, the significant threats they face due to
disappearing habitats and climate change and how essential these
angels of the air are to our own survival. Soaring through the
skies, light as the air itself, birds are the closest creatures we
have to angels on the planet. They bring song and beauty to our
lives, and they play a significant role in sustaining Earth's
ecosystems. But birds are also facing the threat of extinction.
Drawing on numerous interviews with researchers and biologists
studying birdlife in Australia and dozens of scientific reports
from around the world, Maslen reveals a dire picture of what
plummeting bird populations means for humanity.
