- Natural History
Delaware\u2019s location in the mid-Atlantic region on the Atlantic flyway, as well as the geologic evolution of Delaware\u2019s Piedmont and Coastal Plain, have resulted in a great variety of bird life―virtually all species regularly encountered in the East. Birds of Delaware is the first comprehensive book on birds in the state, containing accounts of 418 species, and the first state book to integrate breeding bird atlas survey results with all other available information on a state\u2019s wild birds. Destined to be a definitive reference work for years to come, Birds of Delaware includes innovative graphic presentations on breeding and seasonal distribution, relative abundance of species, nesting season, and winter population changes. Primarily concerned with species accounts for breeding birds, migrants, and rare visitors.

About the Author
Richard West is a trained former automotive mechanic who transferred to the commercial side of Formula 1 motor racing in the early 1980s. During his career, he has worked with the McLaren, Williams and Arrows F1 teams as well as holding a Directorship of the Le Mans and Daytona 24 Hour Jaguar sports car teams. He successfully revitalised the British Touring Car Championship between 2000 and 2004 and in his career has raised in excess of 165 million dollars worth of sponsorship. Today he works as a keynote speaker and presenter for a growing range of national and international clients and has co-authored two books on the business of Formula 1 as well as co-presenting the BBC World TV series 'Formula for Success'. He is also frequently called upon as a facilitator and mediator at high level conferences.
Richard West (Ph.D., Ohio University, 1991) is Professor of Communication Studies at Emerson College. He received his BA and MA in Communication at Illinois State University.
Rich is the co-author (with Lynn Turner) of several leading books in communication ("Perspectives on Family Communication/4th ed; Interpersonal Communication/2nd ed; IPC/1st ed; Introducing Communication Theory/5th ed; Gender and Communication/3rd ed";) and served as co-editor of the "Sage Sourcebook of Family Communication". He is the author/co-author of over 40 articles and essays and he has participated in over 100 NCA programs.

He has served as Guest Co-Editor of the "Journal of Family Communication" twice and has been a member of nearly 10 journal editorial boards in communication.
