Take a melodious journey around the world with these 52 birdsongs, one for each week of the year. Every species is represented by a beautiful illustration and a short text on the bird's cultural and scientific significance, plus a QR code linked to an audio recording of their song. Along the way, learn about the whip-poor-will's outsized influence on American literature, how a female cardinal orders food from her mate, and the major role that the "bellowing laugh of the kookaburra" plays in Australian Aboriginal culture.
