The Giant Canada Goose
de Harold C. Hanson(Ed. Southern Illinois University Press) Isbn : 0809319241
30.4 €
The first edition of The Giant Canada Goose summarized the history and rediscovery of a supposedly extinct variety (subspecies) of Canada goose - the locally nesting goose that the early farmers and naturalists of the Midwest and eastern plains were familiar with.

The Growth and Development of Birds
de Raymond J. O'Connor(Ed. John Wiley Sons Ltd) Isbn : 0471903450

The first book to approach the morphological, physiological and behavioral development of birds from an ecological and evolutionary perspective. Following the natural development from embyro to mature bird, it covers traditional topics such as breeding biology, egg and clutch size, and breeding success, but integrates these subjects with recent information on energetics, thermoregulation, and mortality rates. This approach allows new insights into previously unrelated phenomena such as mate recognition, navigational ability, song, sibling aggression and fratricide.
