Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Desde el comienzo mismo de la civilización, las aves rapaces han cautivado nuestra imaginación, a veces reverenciadas como dioses y otras veces temidas como demonios. Las rapaces nocturnas, silenciosas habitantes de las tinieblas, con su canto lúgubre y funerario, fueron vinculadas tantas veces con espíritus y otras criaturas malignas; las rapaces diurnas, monarcas del zarco cielo, fueron asociadas por muchos pueblos y culturas con la clarividencia e incluso se las creía capaces de conocer nuestro futuro. Siempre majestuosas, asombrosas en su dominio de los vientos, depredadoras de una precisión inconcebible para los torpes seres humanos y portadoras de un hálito inextinguible de misterio, las aves rapaces nos fascinan y nos obligan a elevar la vista tratando de descifrar el color o la forma de sus plumas, o de imaginar cómo sería contemplar el vasto mundo desde la soberanía que ellas detentan. Paul Böhre, autor de este libro y uno de los mayores especialistas mundiales en estas aves, hizo su primer gran viaje como ornitólogo a España, inspirado por Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente y obsesionado con la posibilidad de ver un águila imperial ibérica. Desde entonces, su pasión por las rapaces no ha hecho más que crecer a través de múltiples periplos e investigaciones que le han llevado del sur de Suecia a las Tierras Altas de Escocia y del norte de Finlandia a las costas griegas. Agazapado entre arbustos y matorrales ha avistado la silueta y ha escuchado el canto de cada una de las aves de las que nos habla en este volumen, transmitiéndonos así todo su conocimiento. Abre por tanto este libro y y descubrirás la vida secreta de las rapaces, aprendiendo también gracias a sus magníficas ilustraciones que, siendo estrictamente fieles a la realidad natural que describen, se cuentan entre las más bellas que jamás podrás ver. Observarás que cada especie (prácticamente todas ellas residentes en nuestro país) se describe con detalle, desde su clasificación hasta sus rutas migratorias, pasando por su distribución, su anatomía, su alimentación, su canto, sus huevos, sus plumas, sus nidos. . . Pero, además de conocer todos estos datos y de disfrutar de los relatos en primera persona de su autor, tendrás en las manos un volumen que es mucho más que una guía y que conservarás como un tesoro caído de los cielos *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
