Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here is a volume that has no parallel. . . . A good reference book for those interested in the details of avian anatomy."--Science Books & Films "A gold mine of facts. . . . Every library and biology department, as well as every birder, should have a copy close at hand."--Roger Tory Peterson, from the foreword One of the most heavily illustrated ornithology references ever written, Manual or Ornithology is a visual guide to the structure and anatomy of birds--a basic tool for investigation for anyone curious about the fascinating world of birds. A concise atlas of anatomy, it contains more than 200 specially prepared accurate and clear drawings that include material never illustrated before. The text is as informative as the drawings; written at a level appropriate to undergraduate students and to bird lovers in general, it discusses why birds look and act the way they do. Designed to supplement a basic ornithology textbook, the Manual of Ornithology covers systematics and evolution, topography, feathers and flight, the skeleton and musculature, and the digestive, circulatory, respiratory, excretory, reproductive, sensory, and nervous systems of birds, as well as field techniques for watching and studying birds. Each chapter concludes with a list of key references for the topic covered, with a comprehensive bibliography at the end of the volume.

Download or read book Field Ornithology written by Elliott Coues and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field Ornithology: Comprising a Manual of Instruction Procuring, Preparing and Preserving Birds and a Check List of North American Birds Since ascertained to inhabit North America, while one hundred and fifty have been removed from the former list as being extralimital, invalid or otherwise untenable. Of whatever part the author may have taken in remodelling the list, it would be Obviously indelicate to speak. But he cannot refrain from alluding to the Signal services Of reform rendered by Mr. Allen, Of Cambridge, whose stauch advocacy, under circum stances that might have excused fiinching, did so much to precipitate the changes, long while progressing and inevi table, for which the time was at length at hand. Nor would this allusion be entirely just, did he not in the same connection refer to the thorough revision now making by Prof. Baird him self, with the cooperation Of Dr. Brewer and Mr. Ridgway, the results Of which are about to appear in what promises to be one Of the greatest monuments ever erected to American ornithology. The notable concordance Of the several writings in question, an agreement the more gratifying because a short time since it might have been considered impossible, marks an important period in the history Of the science. The outlook promises well, when different premises lead up to the same conclusions, and conflicting views are reconciled.

Download or read book Essential Ornithology written by Graham Scott and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential Ornithology provides the reader with a concise but comprehensive introduction to the biology of birds, one of the most widely studied taxonomic groups. The book begins by considering the dinosaur origins of birds and their subsequent evolution. Development, anatomy, and physiology are then discussed followed by chapters devoted to avian reproduction, migration, ecology, and conservation. Sections dealing with aspects of bird/human relationships and bird conservation give the book an applied context. This new edition has been thoroughly updated, providing new information from rapidly-developing fields including the avian fossil record, urban and agricultural ecology, responses to climate change, invasive species biology, technologies to track movement, avian disease, and the role of citizen scientists. There is also a greater focus on North American ornithology. Drawing extensively upon the wider scientific literature, this engaging text places the results of classical studies of avian biology alongside the most recent scientific breakthroughs. Useful case studies are presented in a concise and engaging style with the student reader foremost in mind. Key points are highlighted and suggestions for guided reading and key references are included throughout. Essential Ornithology is a companion textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in avian science, as well as a useful reference for professional researchers and consultants. Amateur ornithologists will also find this book offers a scientifically rigorous and accessible overview for a more general readership.

Nuttall knew very little about the Western birds, and therefore only a few short chapters of his have been lost through restricting the scope of the present work to Eastern forms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Field and General Ornithology: A Manual of the Structure and Classification of Birds, With Instructions for Collecting and Preserving Specimens By arrangement with the American publishers of Professor Cones's Key to North American Birds, which has been for many years the standard text-book of Ornithology, we are enabled to present a new edition of those portions of the "Key" which have not less interest for the English than for the American public. The present volume consists of two distinct parts. Part I., entitled "Field Ornithology," contains the necessary instructions for the observation and collection of birds in the field, and for the preparation and preservation of specimens for scientific study in the cabinet. Part II., entitled "General Ornithology," is a technical treatise on the classification, the zoological characters, and the anatomical structure of the class of Birds, in which the examples cited in illustration of the principles of Ornithology have for the most part been redrawn by the author from British instead of American birds. With the further exception of a few verbal changes, and slight abridgment in one or two places, made by the author in revising the proofs, the present "Handbook" is a reprint of the portions of the "Key" above specified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds in Their Relations to Man: A Manual of Economic Ornithology for the United States and Canada The town of Durham, New Hampshire, in which this book has been written, may serve to illustrate in miniature the relations that exist between the world of birds and the world of man. This town abounds with homesteads distributed over its more habitable portions, with considerable areas of wood land and rocky pastures, while on the east it adjoins that arm Of the sea called Great Bay. Running into this bay is the Oyster River: below the dam which holds back the fresh water this is a tide stream, overflowing salt marshes through part of its course. As a result of this unusual Situation, Durham has an extraordinarily rich fauna and flora, making the region one to delight the heart of the naturalist.
