Parrot - Paul Carter

New to Reaktion Books' new series, Animal Series, is Paul Carter's Parrot, which attempts to summarise the natural and cultural history of the parrot — the latter, of course, in relation to human beings. It is separated into three sections: Parrotics, which, according to the blurb, covers the historical, cultural and scientific classifications of parrots; Parroternalia, which covers the association of parrots with different languages, ages, tastes and dreams of human society; and, lastly, Parrotology, the mimicry of parrots and what that can tell us about our own systems of communication.

The author has obviously gone to great lengths to research this book: the sheer breadth of sources (ranging from the scientific to popular culture) and illustrations (101 in total, 77 of which are in colour) gives credence to his sociological and psychological speculations.
