註釋Birds that show empathy, make and use tools, problem solve and recognise faces: no wonder corvids are at the heart of many myths and folk tales.From their role in keeping Britain safe at the Tower of London to the companions of the Viking god Odin; this unique illustrated look at the enigmatic world of ravens, crows, magpies, rooks and their cousins should give you food for thought, and a new understanding of what makes them the most special of birds.From their roles in the mythology of Celtic, Norse, American, Asian and European mythology to the influence that corvids have had upon music, film, popular expressions and even art it becomes evident that there are more to this crow family than meets their beady eye.
