Product Description
Product Description
In this book, ornithologists Charles G. Sibley and Burt L. Monroe Jr, present descriptions of the geographic distributions, and comments about the species-level taxonomy, of the living birds of the world. The accounts of the 9672 species are arranged according to the classification developed by Sibley, Monroe, and Ahlquist. The authors provide new information on the distribution of each species; an appendix includes 24 maps and a gazetteer of the place names mentioned in the text. This volume also provides a cross-referenced index of scientific and English bird names of species.

a must for anyone interested in birds,
By A Customer
This review is from: Distribution and Taxonomy of Birds of the World (Hardcover)
this is not only a complete list of all the modern birds of the world, but a revision based on dna testing by the authors sibley and monroe. This offers a new taxonomy of the worlds birds with many startling changes. It is a fascinating and comprehensive work. those educated on the wetmore and amadon classification will have to reeducate themselves.
