The Megapodes: MegaPodiidae (Bird Families of the World)
"The 22 species of megapodes are distributed in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, the Philippines, the Nicobar Islands (India) and on some southwest Pacific islands.  This monograph is the first about them in over 100 years.  It discussed taxonomy and relationships, distribution, biogeography, speciation, general biology and behavior, incubation sites, ecophysiology and adaptations, reproductive behavior and mating systems, evolution of incubation strategies, and conservation.  This is essential reading for anyone interested in these fascinating birds.  Most highly recommended."--WildlifeActivist"[A] thorough treatment of a fascinating family of birds...should be in the library of anyone interested in Australasian or in the range of adaptation in birds."--The Wilson Bulletin
