Overview Fugleperspektivet

The Bird Perspective is a fascinating journey through two centuries of landscape changes and human intervention, seen through the eyes of migratory birds. By following their routes from 1825, 1925 and 2025, we get a unique and dramatic insight into how the landscape has changed over time, into the fragility and durability of nature, and how humans have shaped life on earth.

Written by award-winning author and biologist Dag O. Hessen, the book combines scientific facts with gripping stories about bird species and their incredible migrations, and gives us a deeper understanding of nature's beauty and vulnerability. With a focus on European landscapes and birds of paradise, as well as personal stories from the rugged west coast of Norway, this is a book that informs and inspires.

The Bird Perspective is a tribute to the world of birds and a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural landscapes for future generations.
