Description: Discover the mysterious and fascinating sleeping habits of more than twenty birds in this gorgeously illustrated read-aloud, perfect for in the classroom or at bedtime. Have you ever seen a bird sleep? Or wondered just when it is that migrating cranes find the time to catch Z's when crossing the ocean? Through short, friendly prose accompanied by immersive paintings of birds in their nighttime environments, this fascinating nonfiction bedtime book explores how varied the sleeping habits of birds can be. From the parrots of Thailand to the ostriches of Australia and even the pigeons of Brooklyn, every bird sleeps-but they do it in ways that will surprise and delight you! Some hang from tree branches, others doze while gliding, and some even burrow underground for a nap. At the end of the book, a detailed afterword expands on the role sleep plays in birds' lives and invites readers to pay more attention to this underexplored aspect of bird life all around us.

  • Princeton University Press Birds at Rest

    Price: £30.00

    Brand: Princeton University Press

     

    Description: A wide-ranging account of how birds spend the quiet half of their lives Birds at Rest is the first book to give a full picture of how birds rest, roost, and sleep, a vital part of their lives. It features new science that can measure what is happening in a bird's brain over the course of a night or when it has flown to another hemisphere, as well as still-valuable observations by legendary naturalists such as John James Audubon, Alfred Russel Wallace, and Theodore Roosevelt. Much of what they saw and what ornithologists are studying today can be observed and enjoyed by any birder. From the poles to the tropics, how, when, and where birds sleep reflect the ecology and behavior of each species, as well as their evolution from dinosaur ancestors. Some sleep briefly, their brain half awake, others spend long cold nights in torpor, and a few can sleep while flying. Their roosting habits are also varied. Most birds sleep alone, some in pairs or families, while others in flocks of millions. Birds at Rest explains how each strategy works over the course of a season, a year, or a lifetime by providing protection, mating opportunities, information about food, and other survival benefits. With evocative drawings by artist and illustrator Margaret La Farge, Birds at Rest discusses how environmental challenges such as artificial lights and noise, invasive species, and climate change are disrupting avian sleep and proposes solutions to ensure that birds get the rest they need.

    Price: £10.99

    Brand: Penguin Books Ltd

     

    Description: Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in twenty-first-century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive. Now, in this book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert, Professor Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, Why We Sleep delves in to everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime, transforming our appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence.
