Written by dozens of international bird experts, this gorgeously illustrated volume covers 9,850 species of birds worldwide, organized by family. Each article include a "factfile" detailing the order, family, and the species of the genus and their general distribution, physical features, evolutionary history, classification, breeding, diet, feeding behavior, social dynamics, conservation, and relationship with humans. The richly detailed essays for each bird, ranging from 2-4 pages, include an abundance of interesting facts about the genus and its species.
