About This Item
(London: Chancellor Press, 1997) 785152732X. Squarish 8vo; laminated pictorial boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 256, incl. index; profusely illustrated with diagrams and photographs, several of which in colour. Slight bumps to top fore-corners of boards. Near fine condition. "Dr Leslie Brown's book, Birds of Prey, provides a unique survey of the world's diurnal raptors. This magnificent group ranges from the carrion-eating, extremely rare Californian Condor to the bird-killing Peregrine Falcon. ... With forty-eight dramatic photographs in full colour, fifty in black and white, and many explanatory drawings specially commissioned for this book from Ian Willis, a well-known expert in ornithological drawing, Dr Brown's Birds of Prey should take its rightful place among the most important ornithological works to be published in recent years. Yet the non-expert will also find that the readable but authoritative text presents a fascinating insight into the lives of some of the world's most exciting creatures." .
