The dash and verve of this cosmopolitan bird have been admired for millennia, appearing in creation myths, imperial regalia, and cultural iconography, and they were once valued as highly as gold. Artists used their iridescent feathers in Tian-tsui, an iconic style of Chinese fine art, for more than 2,400 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe magnificent temples at Angkor Wat in Cambodia owe their existence in part to the great wealth generated by the live kingfisher trade from the Indochina Peninsula. As a muse, kingfishers have influenced philosophers, playwrights, and artists, from the Roman poet Ovid to Carl Jung, Charles Darwin, and others. More recently, bio-mimicry engineers have turned to kingfishers for inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully illustrated book delves into the origins and diversity of the more than 120 species of kingfishers, from the burly kookaburras to the diminutive birds that daringly pluck spiders off webs, defining their characteristics, their differences, their lifestyles, and their cultural significance around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854631686380,"sku":"9781789141399","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/66fa13784735e633178ce993135650cd.jpg?v=1759267245"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/ildiko-szabo.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
