The birds in these stories inhabit the same space as humans, but they are also apart, gliding above us. The Flight of Birds explores what happens when the two worlds meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoshua Lobb's stories are at once intimate and expansive, grounded in an exquisite sense of place. The birds in these stories are variously free and wild, native and exotic, friendly and hostile. Humans see some of them as pets, some of them as pests, and some of them as food. Through a series of encounters between birds and humans, the book unfolds as a meditation on grief and loss, isolation and depression, and the momentary connections that sustain us through them. Underpinning these interactions is an awareness of climate change, of the violence we do to the living beings around us, and of the possibility of transformation.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Flight of Birds \u003c\/i\u003ewill change how you think about the planet and humanity's place in it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924806746270,"sku":"ING-9781743325834","price":31.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781743325834.jpg?v=1782953378","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781743325834","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
