To be frank and honest: these essays are boring. The singular essay I was capable of remotely paying attention to was the one about the humming birds. As it stands the essay provides an informational approach to the world of the humming bird. The essay is quite easy to read and plays well into the frame of mind of a layman.
The essays take a general easy going and conversational tone. The humming bird essay contains a story of a friend of the authors who got needled by the humming birds in her apartment area in San Francisco. This story provides a piece of evidence as to how territorial the birds can be.
Humming birds live a life of All-or-Nothing each and every day. They sleep each night in seemingly cryogenic catatonic state, and every morning they either get up or die. They live on the ledge in a fast paced life till they hit the end and drop of the edge; something this packet did in 5 minutes.
