Turner joins scientist Gavin Hunt to learn about his research on New Caledonian crows' problem-solving and tool-making, and she carefully steps readers through experiments that test the crows' ability to think through tasks. A friendly tone effortlessly moves from amusing accounts of crow antics to sophisticated explanations of crow and human evolution. Arresting photographs highlight the birds' personalities and intelligence. Bib., ind.
