| Released just over a week ago, Stephen Moss' Ten Birds That Changed the World has received a wonderful write-up in the Guardian: "The book is packed with remarkable facts and figures ... Moss is also a companionable narrator, often mixing personal recollections into the science and natural history, such as his trip as a boy to the Tower of London with his mother, where he first saw the ravens, which have been associated with the site since medieval times. A fascinating study of the fraught relationship between human beings and our feathered friends." Read the full review here. |  |
To coincide with the book's publication, Stephen appeared on the podcast, Confessions of a Bookseller, talking to host David Headley.
