This antique text comprises a comprehensive list of written work pertaining to British Ornithology. Intended as a practical tool for the working ornithologist, this book will be of value to the student and to the librarian as a check-list of the material available within the field of British ornithology. A great book for discerning ornithologists with an interest in ornithological literature, this text constitutes a worthy addition to any serious collection. The sections of this book include: Bibliography, History, Periodicals, Early Work to A.D. 1800, Handbooks, Reference Works, Taxonomy, Classification, Biology, Evolution, Anatomy, Physiology, Plumage, Economic Ornithology, Ecology, Breeding Biology, Display, Habits, Behavior, Nests, Eggs, Incubation, Fledging, Migration, Ringing, Bird Observations, et cetera. Many antique books such as this are increasingly costly and hard to come by, out of reach for the average ornithologist. With this in mind, we are proud to republish this text now complete with a new introduction to ornithology.
