The follow-up to Extinct Boids, this collection features more of Ralph Steadman's madcap yet often elegant paintings of birds, with a focus on the ones that there is still time left to save. Here are Steadman's renditions of the giant ibis, the kakapo, the rock ptarmigan, the California Condor, and the Sumatran ground-cuckoo—along with Steadman creations like the unsociable leftwing and the orange-beaked spotted bald emulsion cootflake. Ceri Levy provides scientific commentary, and his accounts of conversations with Steadman add considerably to the pleasures of this appealing book.
