Brings together a comprehensive review of the world's pheasants, partridges, quails, grouse, turkeys, guineafowl, buttonquails, sandgrouse, and the enigmatic Plains-wanderer - over 250 species in all. This book concentrates on detailed identification and distribution, but also highlights conservation issues where relevant.
