This beautifully illustrated book, with more than 200 magnificent colour photographs and 150 original paintings, maps and diagrams, presents an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of the natural history of birds. The authoritative text has been written by the world's leading ornithologists and includes the most recent scientific findings in a stimulating presentation. It also provides new conservation information on each order, using symbols to denote the three levels of threat - critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable. Statistics regarding the number of families, genera, and species within each order and the number of endangered species have been amended to reflect the most recent data. The text has been substantially revised to include the latest taxonomic classifications.
