Omschrijving
This definitive new handbook is set to become the standard photographic reference for this region. No birders' shelf will be complete without it.
The bird-book publishing highlight of 2018 ... This is now the definitive passerine guide for the Western Palearctic region.
It cannot be stressed enough just how much information is packed into this magnum opus. It is the new ultimate guide in Western Palearctic birding and is every bit worth the price tag. I cannot envisage that anyone who makes the investment will be left disappointed.
Few books have generated such a buzz before being published ... this is one of the most important and potentially influential books of this decade. Its high standards shine through every page ... A top-quality publication.
A big book in every sense, co-authored by two juggernauts of Western Palearctic ornithology ... Destined to remain a standard-bearer well in to the future.
Hadoram Shirihai is Israel’s foremost ornithologist and the author of books including the acclaimed Sylvia Warblersand A Complete Guide to Antarctic Wildlife. While his work, especially on tubenoses, has taken him to virtually every corner of the globe, his love of deserts and bird migration means that he is still to be found at Eilat, the watchpoint at the head of the Red Sea that he brought to the world’s attention, virtually every spring. The scientific name of the Desert Tawny Owl (Strix hadorami), a species that has attracted his attention and research since he was a schoolboy, honours his devotion to Middle Eastern ornithology. The name Lars Svensson can truly be considered ‘household’ among European birdwatchers. His knowledge of Western Palearctic birds, in both field and museum, is second to none, and has resulted in two best-selling works synonymous with his name: his ‘bible’ for ringers, the Identification Guide to European Passerines, and the field guide to Western Palearctic birds universally known simply as the Collins Bird Guide. During the extensive preparations for this book, his in-depth work yielded a brace of previously undescribed subspecies. He lives in southern Sweden.
