The award-winning National Geographic photographer captures the stunning variety and mystery of bird feathers in this acclaimed monograph.

Robert Clark’s fascinating and brilliantly colorful images reveal the beauty and myriad functions of a seemingly simple thing: the bird feather. Each exquisitely detailed close-up is paired with informative text about the utility and evolution of the feather it depicts, making this handsome marriage of art and science the ideal gift for bird lovers, natural history buffs, and photography enthusiasts.

“Art meets science in a poetic celebration of Earth’s astonishing diversity. Feathers is an intensely beautiful visual taxonomy and a photographic love letter to this poetic feat of evolution.” —Brain Pickings
