Jennifer Ackerman in conversation with Rosie Boycott

Wise owls

Teatro Adolfo Mejía

Jennifer Ackerman (United Kingdom), the author of The Genius of Birds, returns with her new book, What an Owl Knows. The tales of the world are full of owls: for different cultures it has represented wisdom, mystery, or even presages of death. Popular culture also features the owl, which appears in the Harry Potter and Winnie the Pooh stories. These birds, which are able to turn their heads a full 180°, have a very special anatomy, but why are these creatures of the night so famous? This new book is a mixture of natural history treatise, a study of behaviour, and a look at the symbolism of these extraordinary animals. In conversation with Rosie Boycott.

Jennifer Ackerman will participate in this event digitally.

Simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish available
