520    "From the discovery of the fossil Archaeopteryx to more 
       than 10,000 different documented species today, birds have
       become the second most diversified class of vertebrates on
       Earth. Birds have changed and evolved extensively since 
       they first emerged in prehistoric times, but that 
       diversity could dwindle and even vanish unless we take 
       steps to conserve their habitats, ensuring that they 
       sustain their numbers and their variety. This 
       comprehensive natural history of birds starts in the 
       distant past-going back to the Jurassic, Cretaceous and 
       Paleogene periods-in order to get a broader understanding 
       of the birds that we see today. Chapters cover their lives,
       breeding, flight, migration and more, while also 
       highlighting some especially unique bird fossils, such as 
       the Pelagornis Sandersi, which had a wingspan of more than
       20 feet. Also included are chapters on the loss of needed 
       habitats, current decline of native birds, and what can be
       done to reverse it."--|cProvided by publisher.
