This compilation from the nature series of the Science Times section of The
New York Times is about birds. It is a book to dip into. Any page will catch the
attention, thanks to the quality of the writing, on, for instance, the evolution
of birds, their feats of navigation, the meaning of their songs and their
appreciation of beauty. The Science Times Book of Birds, however, like its
companions, needs an index to exploit its full value. Published by Lyons Press,
$25, ISBN 1558216057.
