OrnithomaniaWahre Passion kennt keine Grenzen: Das Buch fr alle Vogelliebhaber und die, die einen solchen kennen. Bernd Brunner (der bis vor Kurzem brigens Vgel bedrohlich und ihr Geflatter enervierend fand) hat den faszinierenden Viten derer nachgeforscht, die von Vgeln so fasziniert waren, dass sie ihnen ihr Leben verschrieben von moderaten Exemplaren wie Friedrich II., 1194 1250, (dem ersten groen Ornithologen und Falkner auf dem Thron) ber Leonardo da Vinci

Wahre Passion kennt keine Grenzen: Das Buch für alle Vogelliebhaber und die, die einen solchen kennen. Bernd Brunner (der bis vor Kurzem übrigens Vögel bedrohlich und ihr Geflatter enervierend fand) hat den faszinierenden Viten derer nachgeforscht, die von Vögeln so fasziniert waren, dass sie ihnen ihr Leben verschrieben - von moderaten Exemplaren wie Friedrich II., 1194-1250, (dem ersten großen Ornithologen und Falkner auf dem Thron) über Leonardo da Vinci (dem Entwickler der ersten Flugapparate), Charles Darwin (der keineswegs den Finken, sondern den von ihm aus aller Welt gesammelten Tauben die entscheidenden Ideen zur Evolution verdankte) bis zu Konrad Lorenz, der die Rolle einer Gänsemutter übernahm. Freilich gab es auch extremere Formen: Phoebe Snetsinger etwa, eine Millionärin, die nach einer Krebsdiagnose beschloss, ihr restliches Leben ausschließlich dem Beobachten möglichst vieler Vogelarten in der Natur zu widmen - als sie starb, hatte sie mehr Vogelarten gesehen als je ein Mensch vor ihr; Kriminologen, die mit ornithologischen Kenntnissen Fälle lösten; Papageiensammler, die die natürlichen Populationen des Objekts ihrer Begierde an den Rand des Aussterbens brachten; bis zu Vogelschützern, die regelrechte Feldzüge zum Wohle ihrer Schützlinge führten, oder anderen, die für ihre Passion sogar betrogen, mordeten oder starben. "Ornithomania" verharrt dabei nicht im Anekdotischen - en passant erzählt Bernd Brunner uns die Geschichte der Ornithologie und vermittelt Staunens- und Wissenswertes aus der Welt der Vogelkunde.

Great ankle socks that stay put at a great price!!
Size: 6-9, Color: Assorted
These are great! I have been looking for a low profile ankle sock that is thinner but doesn’t ride down. (Picky, right?) I try to walk 5-7 miles on my days off. So it’s very important for me to not have to stop every couple of hundred yards, bend down, fix socks, then continue on my way while grumbling about NOT GREAT socks. These are not those socks. They really do stay put!!! And enough cushion to be comfortable also. So definitely a repeat!!

Great quality, no holes or fading!
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I purchased these socks a couple years ago and love them so much that I just recently purchased them again! They fit perfectly, don't make my feet sweaty, and hit the ankle at the right spot. The material is so good that over years they have not faded and even though I wear the same few pairs every day, they have no signs of thinning or holes! These are the ONLY socks that I buy. I have the black ones as well as the multi-colored ones. I will never buy another brand or style again!

Well made and perform well, a little constricting
Size: Medium, Color: Black Assortment (6-pairs)
These socks definitely keep most of the moisture away from my feet, even in wet conditions, which is why I bought them. I am diabetic, though, and the recommendation is to wear socks that don't constrict at any point. These have a tight band around the opening that while it is not uncomfortable on, leaves a mark when I take them off. So far it's been ok, but if you have any kind of swelling in your feet or ankles these would probably not be the best. My foot measures size 8 and I wear size 9 Brooks running shoes. The socks fit me just right but based on the size of the opening and the overall length, I wouldn't think they would fit anyone more than a size larger. Overall well made and perform well as you would expect from this brand.
