Coles The Verb 'To Bird': Sightings of an Avid Birder at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
All around the world, birds are the subject of intense, even spiritual, fascination, but relatively few people see the word bird as a verb. Peter Cashwell is one who does, and with good reason: He birds (because he can''t help it), and he teaches grammar (because he''s paid to). An English teacher by profession and an avid birder by inner calling, Cashwell has written a whimsical and critical book about his many obsessions - birds, birders, language, literature, parenting, pop culture, and the human race. Cashwell lovingly but irreverently explores the practice of birding, from choosing a field guide to luring vultures out of shrubbery, and gives his own eclectic travelogue of some of the nation''s finest bird habitats. Part memoir, part natural history, part apology, The Verb ''To Bird'' will enlighten and entertain anyone who''s ever wandered around wet fields at the crack of dawn with dog-eared field guides crushed against the granola bars in their pockets. But you don''t have to know the field marks of an indigo bunting to appreciate Cashwell''s experiences with non-lending libraries, venomous insects, sports marketing, and animated Christmas specials.
