This is the 3rd of 12 volumes in a series of handbooks on the world
of birds. It provides coverage of birds, from Hoatzin to auks. The
introductory chapter is illustrated with detailed plates to
complement the text, and deals with such diverse aspects as
evolutionary history, anatomy, physiology, migration and
systematics. Each chapter covers a different family, headed by a
summary box. Photographs illustrate more unusual features, such as
courtship behaviour, thermoregulation or feeding techniques. Each
chapter is subdivided into sections: systematics; morphological
aspects; habitat; general habits; voice; food and feeding;
breeding; movements; relationship with man; status and
conservation; and a general bibliography. The species account lists
names in French, German and Spanish, in addition to scientific and
English names. Each species features: its own distribution map
indicating resident, breeding and non-breeding ranges; its official
status, according to BirdLife International; and the threats facing
each species.
