Welcome to the world of tit language

Highly praised by Professor Toshikazu Yamagiwa (Director of the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature)!
"The field work that uncovered the secrets of bird language, which surpasses that of apes, is the birth of a new field of animal linguistics, a modern-day Dr. Dolittle."

::::::::::::::::::::::::
The first solo book by this promising young animal linguist, who has been attracting attention from both domestic and international media, including NHK's "Darwin Has Arrived!", has finally been published!

From ancient Greece to the present day, humans were the only ones with language, and birds were only known to sing with emotions.
This is a scientific essay by a researcher who overturned this "common sense" and was the first in the world to discover that "tits combine more than 20 words to create sentences."
In this light-hearted book, he writes about what inspired him to become a zoologist, his fun but extremely weight-inducing days observing tits in the forest, and the experimental methods he used to scientifically elucidate bird language.

The door to the rich world of animals is opened as you are guided by a fresh perspective full of passion and love for great tits. This is a book that will change the way you see the world after reading it. The frontispiece features color photos of great tits, and at the end of the book there is a 2D code that allows you to listen to what great tits say.

[Recommendations from our editors]
When I read the draft of this book, what impressed me most was Professor Suzuki's sincere desire to "love great tits and learn more about them," and his attitude of patiently observing birds while immersing himself in nature. Whether you are a humanities or science student, outdoorsy or indoorsy, by cherishing the feeling of "loving" something, you can be surprised and realize something new in your daily life, and even lead to world-class discoveries - I believe this will be a positive message for readers as well.

By the way, all the illustrations in this first solo book are drawn by Suzuki-sensei himself! The cute details are drawn with the unique touch of Suzuki-sensei, who carefully observes others with love and interest. Please enjoy.
