Feature sections on key ornithological artists such as John James Audubon, Elizabeth Gould and Edward Lear demonstrated how technology, travel and ambition shaped these amazing images, and how their work transformed our understanding of the wonderful world of birds.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Philip Kennedy is a writer, illustrator, and educator.
