Essential Ornithology
"An excellent digest of its subject, combining as it does the long back catalog of ornithological research with a pleasing range of recent developments. The work is admirable, and will no doubt achieve its aim of becoming a valuable text for degree-level students and researchers."--BBC Wildlife"Very readable, is up to date, and usefully includes 'key references' and 'concepts' as notes in the margin."--British BirdListed inBirdbooker Report"In just 155 pages of text, Graham Scott provides a very useful overview of modern ornithology...The writing is very accessible, so the book is perfect for the serious amateur ornithologist (i.e., birder) and ideal to hand to your graduate students as they prepare for their orals." -- Richard O.
