Learn all about crows and how they are similar to humans! You know, those very crafty creatures that are always trying to steal your snacks when you are at the park or on the playground!
  
" John Marzluff, author of "Gifts of the Crow: How Perception, Emotion, and Thought Allow Smart Birds to Behave Like Humans", shares riveting stories of crows who, like humans, acknowledge their recently deceased, bestow gifts, seek revenge, warn of impending danger, recognize faces, commit murder, dream, play tricks, design and use tools, and work together to accomplish tasks. Marzluff presents the breakthrough science that accounts for this behavior along with co-author Tony Angell‘s arresting illustrations of the crow’s antics and anatomy. "
