SUMMARY:Book Club - Monday\, November 16\, 2026 at Mitchell Library\, New Haven
DESCRIPTION:The “Birds in Words” book club will meet on Monday\, November 16\, 2026 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at the Mitchell Library in New Haven. \nFeel free to bring snacks to enjoy and share! \nThe club will discuss The Story of Birds: A New History from Their Dinosaur Origins to the Present by Steve Brusatte. \nTens of billions of birds share the planet with us\, an astonishingly diverse array of species that are present nearly everywhere humans call home—and many places we do not. With their flamboyant plumage\, joyous dawn serenades\, extraordinary aerial feats\, they have captivated human imagination for millennia. Undeniably delicate creatures with hollow bones and thin skin protected by downy feathers\, how did such a seemingly fragile species break the bounds of Earth and begin to fly\, how have they survived millennia\, and how does their legacy shape our world? \nHailed as “one of the stars of modern paleontology” (National Geographic)\, Steve Brusatte now tells the extraordinary story of the dinosaurs’ living legacy: birds. He begins by exploring how dinosaurs gradually developed the trademark features of birds one-by-one—feathers\, wings\, beaks\, big brains\, keen senses\, and warm-blooded metabolisms. He investigates why birds were the only dinosaurs to survive the cataclysmic asteroid impact 66 million years ago and chronicles how these survivors rapidly proliferated to produce the diversity of avian species we know today.\nAlong the way\, we meet a variety of remarkable – now extinct – species: \n\n10-foot-tall terror birds with beaks that sliced flesh\nElephant birds that lived on Madagascar and laid eggs the size of footballs\nPelagornithid seabirds with 20-foot wingspans\nA ferocious Jamaican ibis that used its wings as clubs to attack rivals\n\nYet\, Brusatte also urges us to appreciate the extraordinariness of birds alive today – penguins that literally fly underwater\, parrots that can mimic human speech and crows that can make tools and are smarter than most mammals.\nA fascinating scientific history that unearths the origins of birds\, The Story of Birds establishes the living legacy of this remarkable species. \nAny questions\, contact Craig Repasz at craigr@newhavenbirdclub.org.
