Paperback, octavo, 400pp., monochrome illustrations. Cover edges and corners slightly worn; bumped head of spine; creased corners. Else very good. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Birders often wonder who exactly is being commemorated in the names of many of our most familiar bird species. Was Bonaparte's Gull named after Napoleon? "Whose Bird?" answers this kind of question and many more by presenting - in a handy A-Z format - a potted biography of every individual who has ever given their name to a species of bird. In total, 2,246 birds and 1,124 people are covered. With many astonishing and bizarre details, this is a sui generis compendium.

First Edition
Paperback. Condition: New. Provides a mini-biography of every person after whom a bird has been named in the English vernacular - some 1,400 individuals. Is Bonaparte's Gull named after Napoleon Bonaparte? Is the Pallas' Sandgrouse named for the same individual as the Pallas' Warbler? This entertaining book provides for the first time a mini-biography of every person after whom a bird has been named in the English vernacular - some 1,400 individuals. Featuring 150 illustrations, Whose Bird? is arranged in the style of an encyclopedia with entries indexed both by relevant individual and by bird. The book concentrates on the people - heroes, romantics, fanatics, and many others. Entries explain who the people were, when and where they traveled, what else they did and were famous for, with whom they were connected, what they wrote and published, and how birds came to be named after them. Filled with fascinating stories about the lives and times of naturalists over the centuries, this accessible reference volume will intrigue readers at every level of interest in ornithology.
