This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form.

Birds
de William Benton(Ed. Pomegranate Communications Inc,US) Isbn : 0764920227
8.21 €
This book was first published in 1972 by the Graphic Arts Workshop of the Portland Museum of Art School in Oregon, as a limited edition of 200 copies. On the right-hand side pages Benton ingeniously portrays the essence of one type of bird, simply by arranging the letters of the bird's name. Its simplicity is breathtaking--and flocks of fun! William Benton received his early training in music and worked as a jazz musician before becoming a writer. His seven books of poetry include Marmalade, Normal Meanings, and The Bell Poems. His poetry has also been published in The New Yorker and The Paris Review.

The Zebra Finch: A Synthesis of Field and Laboratory Studies
de Richard A. Zann(Ed. OUP Oxford) Isbn : 0198540795
121.08 €
This book synthesizes current scientific knowledge of the Australian Zebra Finch, a bird popular with scientists and teachers in physiology, behavioral development, and evolutionary ecology, as well as professional and amateur ornithologists throughout the world. It builds a complete picture of the biology of this colorful species, integrating thirty years of findings from the laboratory with those from the wild, with emphasis on behavior and ecology. This new understanding of the Zebra Finch's adaptation and life history will further enhance its value to researchers and students in various fields.

Early History Of The Swedish Avifauna: A Review of the Subfossil Record and Early Written Sources (Handlingar - Antikvariska Serien)
de Per G. P. Ericsson, Tommy Tyrberg(Ed. Almquiest Wiksell International) Isbn : 9174023373
109.26 €
This book summarizes the history of the Swedish avifauna based on early publications and manuscripts (mostly written before AD 1800), as well as data obtained from archaeozoological analyses of bird remains recovered from more than 500 archaeological and natural deposits. The evolution and distribution of the Swedish bird fauna during the 14,000 years since deglaciation began are outlined based on these data. The results show that a large proportion of the species that inhabit Sweden today seemingly immigrated quite soon after the ice withdrew. The most important route of immigration was from the south and west, but later immigrants also followed northerly or easterly routes. Some species, traditionally regarded as very late immigrants (e.g. Mute Swan, Pochard and Partridge), are shown to ...

Speciation and Biogeography of Birds
de Ian Newton(Ed. Academic Press) Isbn : 012517375X
102.28 €
This book should be of value to anyone interested in bird evolution and taxonomy, biogeography, distributional history, dispersal and migration patterns. It provides an up-to-date synthesis of current knowledge on species formation, and the factors influencing current distribution patterns. It draws heavily on new information on Earth history, including past glacial and other climatic changes, on new developments in molecular biology and palaeontology, and on recent studies of bird distribution and migration patterns, to produce a coherent account of the factors that have influenced bird species diversity and distribution patterns worldwide.
