Synopsis
In this volume, birds are treated, not as museum specimens or subjects simply to be identified and catalogued, but as living animals. The author discusses their evolution, anatomy, feeding, habitats, social behaviour, breeding and migration. The book therefore covers all aspects of avian biology. But what makes it so absolutely outstanding is its illustrations. Points made in the text are demonstrated by superb paintings by the Dutch artist and naturalist Ad Cameron, one of the world's leading bird artists.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Ad Cameron (illustrator) (illustrator). Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
