A scientifically robust and greatly expanded new version of Katrina van Grouw’s landmark book on bird anatomy Since it was first published in 2013, The Unfeathered Bird has established itself as a favourite among bird lovers and dinosaur enthusiasts everywhere. Katrina van Grouw has reimagined this classic work, adding more than 300 stunning illustrations and extensive new text, exploring the relationships between birds, and their origins and position in the dinosaur lineage. Each exquisite anatomical drawing in this splendid large-format book is based on direct research and observation and a lifetime of accumulated knowledge. Many show articulated skeletons of animals engaged in natural behaviour: a seriema dispatching a snake, hovering hummingbirds, singing songbirds, or Deinonychus mantling a victim!
