## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crow Closure
*by D***N on March 23, 2015*

For anyone that has had a prior incident with the crow, raven, or magpie, I suggest this read for a very good wrap up and conclusion of your encounter with these birds. The author is well knowledgeable and has added great pictures and paintings which are awe inspiring. The book captures the essence of these wonderful and canny birds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A refreshingly straightforward, mostly up-to-date look at these commonplace yet endlessly fascinating bird
*by H***R on July 26, 2018*

In this new, sixth edition of Boria Sax’s concise, informative Crow (2003), the inaugural installment of Reaktion Books’ excellent Animal series, Sax takes a refreshingly straightforward, mostly up-to-date look at these commonplace yet endlessly fascinating birds that, from Gilgamesh to Van Gogh, have long been a source of enchantment and wonder. “Crows are among the most ubiquitous of birds,” observes Sax, “yet without being in the least exotic, they manage to remain mysterious.” Indeed, following a brief introduction that discusses the characteristics of various species of the genus corvus (jackdaws, ravens, and rooks) and types (American, hooded, and carrion), as well as recent advances in our comprehension of crows’ remarkable intelligence and complex social life, the majority of Sax’s book concerns how crows have been depicted in myth, folklore, religion, and art. Chapters are organized around specific cultures, periods, or locales, from ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, to the European Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Romantic eras, to Native American and Asiatic depictions. The concluding chapters consider the scarecrow as locus for human-crow interaction, and twentieth and twenty-first century representations in art and literature. Also included are a helpful timeline for all major natural and historical events, and an expansive bibliography. Copiously illustrated throughout, the reproductions, while adequately reprinted, are regrettably on the small side and in black and white, an unfortunate result of the book's design. In such a short work, clocking in at a mere 184 pages, Sax cannot hope to be exhaustive, yet he does manage to include many of the most salient and evocative portrayals of these remarkable creatures. Throughout, Sax uncovers plenty of obscure yet no less stimulating bits of cultural history of interest to Forteans and armchair historians alike. -- Eric Hoffman, Fortean Times

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic reading
*by A***E on July 2, 2021*

I've read a great many books about crows, both fiction and non and this one is easily among the greatest.
