Hi Ian and Tweeters,

There are a few new crow/corvid books out. I received this information from
the crownet and crows at yahoogroups lists:

"I am forwarding an email from the crownet at the University of
Washington which lists some new "crow" books you may find interesting.

Greetings all Crow-netters. I hope you are all aware of several new crow /
corvid books. I'll list them below, but really hope that this will start
some active discussion of crow, raven, and jay topics that we just haven't
had on this site. Take a look at these books and post your opinions,
observations, and insights into the topics raised within them. I hoping they
will stimulate us think deeply about our favorite birds.

1. Boria Sax published a neat book "Crow" (Reaktion Books) in 2003 that
provides a wealth of information about the influence of corvids on people.
2. For those who can read German, you must see Dieter Glandt's Der Kolkrabe
(2003, AULA-Verlag) to learn more about ravens.
3. Candace Savage has a new book, just out, "Crows: encounters with the wise
guys" (Greystone Books) that builds on Sax's sort of work and Candace's
earlier book to document much of crow behavior and crow influence on people.
4. Tony Angell and I also are proud to announce the publication of "In the
Company of Crows and Ravens"--now available from Yale University Press. Tony
provides over 100 new crow and raven illustrations in the book and we
organize our discussion of crow ecology, conservation, behavior, and
sociality--as well as corvid influence on human art, language, legend, and
literature-- around what we describe as "cultural coevolution" between
people and crows.

Good reading and let us know your thoughts.


John Marzluff
