They are the world’s tallest and heaviest living birds, and they lay the largest eggs. With their long legs, ostriches are also fleet of foot, running up to 43 miles per hour, and formidable fighters—an ostrich kick can kill. But since the beginning of history, these extraordinary and outlandish birds have also been exploited by humans for their eggs, meat, skin, and feathers. In Ostrich , Edgar Williams provides a singular, comprehensive insight into the natural history, behavior, and habitat of this monumental bird. Williams describes how the demand for ostrich feathers was so great during the Victorian era that vast fortunes were made from ostrich farming, particularly in South Africa and the United States. After fashions changed following World War I, farmers lost their fortunes, but the now domesticated ostrich found a new purpose—today, ostrich farmers produce plumes and leather for luxury markets, as well as meat for grocery stores. In addition to telling its, Williams reveals how the ostrich has been featured in culture, from its representations in cave paintings, medieval manuscripts, and the Bayeux tapestry to its use in advertising and cartoons. Featuring many striking illustrations, Ostrich will interest nature lovers, artists, and fashionistas alike. Review: An ostrich's large eyes with the feathered eyelashes (unlike other birds) are beautiful. Yes - Seeing ostriches race at the Texas state fair had me hooked on them; human jockeys rode them. An ostrich's large eyes with the feathered eyelashes (unlike other birds) are beautiful. Yes, their bodies seem kind of funny but they are powerful and actually beautiful birds. I went to see them at an exotic animal farm and could spend hours watching them. They followed me along the fence line similar to the fish in the aquarium did the main character in the movie "Evan Almighty". Caution: using a camera near them--always use the tiny hole kind as they peck literally everything! This book is the only book I could find anywhere on them but it is well done and does cover them well. Review: ) - The product was used (i believe) but in perfect condition, nonetheless. I needed it for a project for school and it came just in the knick of time. Great product for a great price. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #7,154,096 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,518 in Bird Field Guides #28,044 in Nature Conservation | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 4 Reviews | ## Images ![Ostrich (Animal) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41E6yU0+9KL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An ostrich's large eyes with the feathered eyelashes (unlike other birds) are beautiful.
