Summary

Crow Facts explores the remarkable intelligence of crows, challenging our understanding of animal cognition. These avian creatures demonstrate sophisticated tool use, as seen in New Caledonia where they craft tools from twigs, and possess a surprising ability to recognize human faces, even learning to associate specific individuals with danger or safety. The book delves into the evolutionary pressures that may have driven their cognitive development.

 
The book examines three core areas of crow intelligence: tool use and innovation, facial recognition and social intelligence, and problem-solving and cognitive flexibility. By analyzing crows' capacity to solve complex puzzles and adapt their behavior, the book highlights their cognitive flexibility. It draws from field observations, controlled lab experiments, and long-term research, offering a unique perspective on crow cognition and its adaptive advantages within their environment.

 
Structured to progress logically, Crow Facts begins with an introduction to the crow family and their global distribution, then moves into an exploration of their cognitive abilities across multiple chapters. This approach provides a comprehensive and engaging overview suitable for nature enthusiasts, biology students, and anyone curious about animal behavior and the evolution of intelligence.

    The Desert by John Charles Van Dyke, published in 1901, is a lush, poetic description of the natural beauty of the American Southwest. "What land can equal the desert with its wide plains, its grim mountains, and its expanding canopy of sky!" Van Dyke, a cultivated art historian, saw "sublimity" in the desert's "lonely desolation," which previous generations had perceived only as a wasteland, and his book has a conservationist flavor which seems distinctly modern. "The deserts should never be reclaimed," he writes. "They are the breathing spaces of the west and should be preserved for ever." The changing colors of the sky, hills, and sand impress Van Dyke, as do the mirages. He celebrates the "long overlooked commonplace things of nature"-- cactus and grease wood, desert animals, and "winged life," the birds and insects. His writing has a philosophical undertone. "Not in vain these wastes of sand ... simply because they are beautiful in themselves and good to look upon whether they be life or death." Anyone who views with equal awe fiery sunrises and weeds growing out of pavement cracks will enjoy this reading of Van Dyke's The Desert.(Summary by Sue Anderson)
