内容説明・目次
内容説明
1200 species of birds, in 20 orders and numerous families, are known in the Indian subcontinent. This handbook describes their distribution, habits, breeding biology, diet, voice, and other features. Over 100 plates and systematic keys in the text help with identification. Maps show the distribution of many migratory and spatially restricted forms, and a number of line drawings illustrate diagnostic features such as bills and feet. This new compact edition brings together the text of all ten volumes of the original handbook , with 106 plates by the famous American bird painter John Henry Dick depicting all the bird species found in that region. The text and black-and-white text illustrations of the handbook appear here photographically reduced by 30%, with four pages of the original occupying one page of the compact edition . The colour plates appear in the same size as in the original editions. Readership; scholars and students of ornithology and zoology.
