The bird book for birders and nonbirders alike that will excite and inspire by providing a new and deeper understanding of what common, mostly backyard, birds are doing--and why

"Can birds smell?" "Is this the same cardinal that was at my feeder last year?" "Do robins 'hear' worms?" In What It's Like to Be a Bird, David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. This special, large-format volume is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. While its focus is on familiar backyard birds--blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees--it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin. David Sibley's exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life. (For most species, the primary illustration is reproduced life-sized.) And while the text is aimed at adults--including fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changes--it is nontechnical, making it the perfect occasion for parents and grandparents to share their love of birds with young children, who will delight in the big, full-color illustrations of birds in action. Unlike any other book he has written, What It's Like to Be a Bird is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley's world of birds.

Excent price / quality relation
I had some good expectations about this screen and they were accomplished. The quality is good, it has few modes in its configuration for eye saving or performance.

It's alright
Performs well on high graphics for gaming. My only complaint is that this has a lot of backlighting. The screen is very bright and not very saturated. I also don't like that you can't adjust the screen height. But other than that, a decent curved monitor.

Game changer! Literally
I use this monitor for work and I don’t need to turn my face to see the edge of the screen. Absolutely love it! Bright enough but not too much to bother my sight! Nice color, monitor not too heavy but still good quality. Lots of value in this purchase! Highly recommend to my colleagues and friends!

Monitor stopped working after a few months
I work from home. I bought 2 of the 27’ monitors at the end of April and loved them. I used them for 2 months before going out of state. I came back a few days ago, everything was working until one of the monitors suddenly went dark and it won’t turn back on no matter what I do. The laptop does detect that it’s plugged in.
