Reviews of “Flights of Imagination”
 Flights of Imagination“Twitchers and listers alike will love the motley tales—compiled by a University of British Columbia consulting biologist and also a teacher of field ecology who is one of Canada’s foremost birders—which range from charting the earliest recollections of an ornithophile to contemplating the ways in which these singing, spiritual messengers connect us to the physical world.” Toronto Star, Jun 19, 2010 Read more about Flights of Imagination >> |
Flights of Imagination“There are many flights one embarks upon while reading Flights of Imagination. There is, of course, the titular flight of the metaphors and tales inspired by birds, but you also hopscotch around the world to exotic birding locales and even travel through time, as well. It's an invigorating mix that propels you through the collection.”— Telegraph-Journal, Jun 5, 2010 Read more >>Read more about Flights of Imagination >> |
Flights of Imagination“Cannings...has done a remarkable job of assembling text from different points of view: novelists, biologists, travel writers and memoirists all muse on their experiences with birds. Most of the authors featured in Flights of Imagination might be unfamiliar to many readers, but that shouldn't be a deterrent: reading these essays is almost as good as seeing the birds ourselves.” Comox Valley Echo, May 28, 2010 Read more >>Read more about Flights of Imagination >> |
