The behaviour, Population Biology and Physiology of the Petrels. John Warham is a towering figure in petrel biology and his mastery and depth of knowledge is demonstrated on every page. There are hundreds of tables, graphs, maps, anatomical drawings etc. An absolute must for all students of seabird biology. Albatross Biology and Conservation.
Several chapters deal with systematics.
Illustrated with a handful of superb color photos. Price Milburn for Victoria University Press. Slightly dated field guide to the albatrosses and petrels likely to be found in the southern oceans from Tropic of Capricorn to Antarctica. Numerous color and black and white photos. There is a series of sketches similar but inferior to those found at the back of Peter Harrison's Photoguide.
