Bernd Brunner (der bis vor Kurzem brigens Vgel bedrohlich und ihr Geflatter enervierend fand) hat den faszinierenden Viten derer nachgeforscht, die von Vgeln so fasziniert waren, dass sie ihnen ihr Leben verschrieben von moderaten Exemplaren wie Friedrich II., 1194 1250, (dem ersten groen Ornithologen und Falkner auf dem Thron) ber Leonardo da Vinci

Wahre Passion kennt keine Grenzen: Das Buch für alle Vogelliebhaber und die, die einen solchen kennen. Bernd Brunner (der bis vor Kurzem übrigens Vögel bedrohlich und ihr Geflatter enervierend fand) hat den faszinierenden Viten derer nachgeforscht, die von Vögeln so fasziniert waren, dass sie ihnen ihr Leben verschrieben - von moderaten Exemplaren wie Friedrich II., 1194-1250, (dem ersten großen Ornithologen und Falkner auf dem Thron) über Leonardo da Vinci (dem Entwickler der ersten Flugapparate), Charles Darwin (der keineswegs den Finken, sondern den von ihm aus aller Welt gesammelten Tauben die entscheidenden Ideen zur Evolution verdankte) bis zu Konrad Lorenz, der die Rolle einer Gänsemutter übernahm. Freilich gab es auch extremere Formen: Phoebe Snetsinger etwa, eine Millionärin, die nach einer Krebsdiagnose beschloss, ihr restliches Leben ausschließlich dem Beobachten möglichst vieler Vogelarten in der Natur zu widmen - als sie starb, hatte sie mehr Vogelarten gesehen als je ein Mensch vor ihr; Kriminologen, die mit ornithologischen Kenntnissen Fälle lösten; Papageiensammler, die die natürlichen Populationen des Objekts ihrer Begierde an den Rand des Aussterbens brachten; bis zu Vogelschützern, die regelrechte Feldzüge zum Wohle ihrer Schützlinge führten, oder anderen, die für ihre Passion sogar betrogen, mordeten oder starben. "Ornithomania" verharrt dabei nicht im Anekdotischen - en passant erzählt Bernd Brunner uns die Geschichte der Ornithologie und vermittelt Staunens- und Wissenswertes aus der Welt der Vogelkunde.

Great value, great product!
I use this as a home jewelry box - I don't wear a lot of jewelry, so it fits my needs perfectly. Its pretty lightweight and would be good for travels as well. The outside is leather-like and seems to be waterproof so far. I use the first layer for jewelery and second layer to store my hairclips and pins. I've had it for a few months and it seems to be great quality and durable! Definitely a good value as well because I've seen similar jewelry boxes sold at popular retail stores for over $30.

Lovely Slate Gray Jewelry Box
I just received this Slate Gray jewelry box. It's really quite lovely and just the right size for my granddaughter's vanity. I'm really excited about giving it to her, for her 12th Birthday, to hold her better jewelry. It's so nice I'm going to order another one for my other Granddaughter's Birthday.

Songmics Slate Gray Travel Jewelry Box
I purchased the slate gray Songmics jewelry box for travel purposes. We take long vacations and have an upcoming 20 day cruise. I wanted a jewelry box that was compact enough to put in my carry-on bag, but still had room to hold a months worth of jewelry, especially to keep my necklaces for tangling. When this arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and the packaging was great, shipped in a sturdy box. so no damage to the jewelry box. The color is a rich gray and the 2 tier box, while small, holds a lot of jewelry. I wanted to purchase the ink black but could not justify paying twice the price of the gray one just to get it in black. It is small enough that it will fit in most any hotel/ship safe so I won't be sitting out in the room anyway. It has a strong magnetic snap that keeps the box from opening while in transit. The one negative for me is that the pierced earring card is so thick that my earrings barely go through to have enough room on the back side the slip the backs on. I may separate the double thick card, realizing it will not look as nice but will be more functional. The bottom half of the box will hold bracelets up to 1 1/4" wide. There is enough room under the earrings card to place pendants, additional earrings, etc. The necklace holder is designed to hold 5 necklaces, but I added one more by going across the top, end to end, to prevent tangling. I also placed smaller hoop earrings in the ring holder which holds them securely. This box held 7 bracelets, 2 of which were wide, 5 rings, 9 necklaces (I placed 3 in the bottom of the box, and had room for 23 pair of earrings (some placed in the ring holder and in the bottom of the bo)! I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
