This new edition builds upon the successful publishing history and positive popular and critical reception of the previous two editions, notably the 2nd edition published by Princeton University Press which has sold 11,000 copies to date. The Handbook is an essential reference on birds and all aspects of their ecology, presented in a style accessible to nonscientist birdwatchers, college students, and teachers. It covers all major topics relating to the biology of birds, including their behavior, conservation, anatomy, physiology, ecology, and evolution. In full colour for the first time, the handbook is written in a non-technical style and contains more than 800 images to provide comprehensive coverage of bird biology from some of the worlds leading avian biologists.
