The second volume in this series continues the high standards set
by the first. The three editors have followed the vision of the
late Leslie Brown and organized a team of internationally known
experts to help them produce an up-to-date and comprehensive work.
This volume covers all birds found in Africa, from gamebirds to
pigeons. In order to do justice to the ever increasing volume of
publications on African birds and the wealth of material collated
by the contributors, and to fulfil the aim of illustrating all main
plumages of every species, the series has been expanded to six
volumes, the first three to cover the non-passerines and the last
three the passerines.
As in Volume I, all species of birds found in Africa are
covered, including migrants and vagrants. Resident birds are
treated in full detail, with sections on their range and status,
description, field characters, voice, general behaviour, food and
breeding biology. Visitors are also given extensive coverage, with
emphasis on their status and behaviour within Africa.
These volumes are being acclaimed as the authority on the
avifauna of Africa; they will remain as such for many years to
come. The quality of the text and the beauty of the plates will
assure them pride of place on the shelves of ornithologists and
bird-watchers everywhere. Indeed, anyone with an interest in
natural history or ecology will find here a source of much interest
and enjoyment.
