Book Description
What drives a man to travel to sixty countries and spend a fortune to count birds? And what if that man is your father? Richard Koeppel’s obsession began at age twelve, in Queens, New York, when he first spotted a Brown Thrasher, and jotted the sighting in a notebook. Several decades, one failed marriage, and two sons later, he set out to see every bird on earth, becoming a member of a subculture of competitive bird watchers worldwide all pursuing the same goal. Over twenty-five years, he collected over seven thousand species, becoming one of about ten people ever to do so. To See Every Bird on Earth explores the thrill of this chase, a crusade at the expense of all else—for the sake of making a check in a notebook. A riveting glimpse into a fascinating subculture, the book traces the love, loss, and reconnection between a father and son, and explains why birds are so critical to the human search for our place in the world. “Marvelous. I loved just about everything about this book.”—Simon Winchester, author of The Professor and the Madman “A lovingly told story . . . helps you understand what moves humans to seek escape in seemingly strange other worlds.”—Stefan Fatsis, author of Word Freak “Everyone has his or her addiction, and birdwatching is the drug of choice for the father of author Dan Koeppel, who writes affectionately but honestly about his father’s obsession.”—Audubon Magazine (editor’s choice) “As a glimpse into human behavior and family relationships, To See Every Bird on Earth is a rarity: a book about birding that nonbirders will find just as rewarding.”—Chicago Tribune

Book Description
Stamp themes, also called thematic stamps or topical stamps, are any postage stamps that have a specific subject or topic which are collectively gathered by enthusiastic topical/thematic stamp collectors. Stamp collectors, obviously, like stamps and so they tend to collect them. But of course, just like other people, stamp collectors also have other interests.Apart from hobby, the stamps subjects help to learning enough about the topic to recognize subtle connections. The Birds are very interesting subject for everybody. Especially students of Zoology, Bird Watchers, Environmentalists and Nature lovers.I found the Indian Poatal Authorities has issued lot of good issues on Birds time to time . But the awareness about that stamps are very less and information about that subjects have not reached the public enough, as the stamps are on sale for a small period of time.More over the Authorities inform only about the feature of the stamps, not the detail about the stamp's subject matter. I felt Birds are very good subjects on stamps and the information about them will be a interesting reading for Students, and general public.This is my attempt to bring out the subject on Indian Birds featured in Stamps of India. The first stamps (Four) on Birds were released by Indian Postage Authorities in 1968. After that many beautiful birds' stamps were released by them frequently. As myself a student of Nature and Environment I enjoyed collecting details about them. I am happy to present this as a book. Thank you. M.H.Subamenu
