Owls
This attractive book details 41 species of owls, with color photographs and essays ranging from one to two pages. The first nine chapters (including “What Makes an Owl?,” “From Egg to Adult,” and “Owls of the World”) cover the biology, diversity, and way of life of owls in an easy-to-read manner. Libraries needing more detail will be better suited with Owls of the World: A Photographic Guide (2012), but those needing a secondary resource or more introductory material on these birds will be well served by this work. For most libraries. --Rebecca Vnuk
