Cornell Lab of Ornithology Handbook of Bird Biology Second Edition

Call it Bird University. This gloriously illustrated volume provides comprehensive college-level information about birds and their environments in a style accessible to nonscientists and teachers the world over.

The book is in almost new condition, without highlighting, underlining, notes, etc. It includes the Audio CD that accompanies Chapter 7. There are minor blemishes on the cover. This is the 2nd Edition. There is a 3rd Edition, which this one is not.

The Handbook of Bird Biology covers all major topics, from anatomy and physiology to ecology, behavior, and conservation biology. One full chapter addresses vocal communication and is accompanied by a CD of bird vocalizations. Produced by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology's world-renowned Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds, the CD illustrates key elements of bioacoustics.

The book's text was written by 12 leading ornithologists and illustrated by respected photographers and acclaimed artist John Schmitt. It includes an extensive glossary and index, a list of the common and scientific names of all birds mentioned in the text, author profiles, suggested readings following each chapter, and a complete reference section.

The Handbook was designed as the backbone of the Lab's Home Study Course in Bird Biology, a self-paced course for those with a serious interest in birds.
