Amazing as it might sound, ornithologists are still discovering an
average of five or six bird species each year that are completely
new to science. These aren't all obscure brown birds on tiny
islands - witness the bizarre Bare-faced Bulbul from Laos (2009),
spectacular Araripe Manakin from Brazil (1998), or gaudy Bugun
Liocichla from north-east India (2006). Birds New to Science
documents over half a century of these remarkable discoveries,
covering round 300 species. Each account includes the story of
discovery, a brief description of the bird (many with accompanying
photographs), and details of what is known about its biology, range
and conservation status. Written in an engaging style, this is a
rich reference to an incredible era of adventure in ornithology.
