The World Atlas of Birds

---

The Worlds Atlas of Birds selects more than 500 species of birds and examines them in depth, region by region, choosing each one to illustrate a particular facet of bird-life - a hunting technique or physical specialisation, courtship behaviour or feeding habit. More than fifty boxed topics look at unusual aspects of bird behaviour such as techniques of nest building, the relationship between adult and young, and the strange links that can exist between birds and other anials.

In addition, the introductory chapter probes such general subjects as evolution, psysiology, flight and the mystery of migration; a glossary and catalogue of scientific and common names is preceded by a unique section containing a full desciptive classification explaining the relationships and characteristics of the world's 155 bird families; and a complete index ato the text and illustration concludes the book.
