Publisher's Synopsis
You've never seen such breath-taking chickens! Behold the fair fowl in a dazzling array of coloration and patterns in its feathers and combs, captured in lively and resplendent poses. The spectacular photographs of Chicken: A Declaration of Love showcase why chickens are truly a brilliant, fascinating, and graceful species. In this unique homage to the feathered beauties, exciting texts tell of the chicken's biodiversity, their way of life, and the history of their liaison with humans. One thing is certain: our fellow animal inhabitants have long been underestimated. It is no longer a secret that chickens are the new stars of the farmyard, meadows, gardens, and urban backyards. As more and more people think about local and sustainable living, the trend towards keeping chickens and home-laid eggs seems more popular than ever. With this photo book, Matteo Tranchellini and Moreno Monti pay tribute to our favorite, feathered friends. With dazzling pictures, the photographers set straight some preconceptions about poultry, showing just what elegance, grace, and character these hens and roosters can display. With page after page of vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and dynamic postures, this book leaves no doubt: we have underestimated the feathered beauties of the coop for far too long.
