Handbook of the Birds of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa: The Birds of the Western Palearctic. Volume 1, Ostrich to Duck
Stanley Camp
$165.00
722 pages - Hardback

Volume 1: Ostrich to Ducks covers 121 species. This authoritative nine volume work of reference takes account of the great advances that have been made in ornithological knowledge since the publication of the Handbook of British Birds (1938-41), which for many years provided the basis on which ornithological research in the UK was built. Ornithologists now work on a wider geographical basis, and this new Handbook covers the whole of the Western Palearctic, which includes all Europe together with the Middle East to Turkey, Iraq, and Jordan, and Africa south to about 19 degrees N.
Each breeding species is described in full, with entries averaging about six pages of text and sections on field characters, habitat, distribution, mortality, population (with maps showing the breeding and wintering areas), movements, food, social pattern and behavior, breeding, voice, plumages, molts, measurements, weights, structure, and geographical variation. Regular migrants and accidental species are also treated under these headings where relevant. There are also illustrations of each species in the form of specially commissioned color plates, showing the full range of normal plumage together with more distant flight views. Each volume includes color plates of eggs, black-and-white illustrations, and many text-figures showing such features as display postures, voice sonagrams and melograms, and annual cycles.
