Do you want to know everything about ravens? Then this is the book for you. Here, a broad approach is taken to the subject, from a historical, biological, sociological, psychological and even religious perspective.
We also get to take part in exciting folk beliefs and long-lived myths. In some peoples, the raven has been regarded as the creator of the universe, and in others as a harbinger of death. Naturally, the reader finds out where and how ravens live, what they look like, what abilities they have, how they build their nests and mate. We get to follow along on the whole journey from the magical moment they lay eggs and the eggs hatch into cubs, until they move through the forests in raucous youth gangs and eventually find a partner to live with for the rest of their lives. The raven is a very social creature and it cooperates in a way that few other birds do. Despite the fact that the raven has sometimes been seen as a pest, it is one of the smartest animals in our world. Ravens spawn almost all the time, but why do they spawn? And do they play because they are smart or do they become smart because they play? Besides, it's never wrong to have a raven's heart in your pocket if you don't want to be cheated in business. Think about it.
