Download or read book The Eponym Dictionary of Birds written by Bo Beolens and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive dictionary listing all the people whose names are commemorated in the English and scientific names of birds. Birdwatchers often come across bird names that include a person's name, either in the vernacular (English) name or latinised in the scientific nomenclature. Such names are properly called eponyms, and few people will not have been curious as to who some of these people were (or are). Names such as Darwin, Wallace, Audubon, Gould and (Gilbert) White are well known to most people. Keener birders will have yearned to see Pallas's Warbler, Hume's Owl, Swainson's Thrush, Steller's Eider or Brünnich's Guillemot. But few people today will have even heard of Albertina's Myna, Barraband's Parrot, Guerin's Helmetcrest or Savigny's Eagle Owl. This extraordinary work lists more than 4,000 eponymous names covering 10,000 genera, species and subspecies of birds. Every taxon with an eponymous vernacular or scientific name (whether in current usage or not) is listed, followed by a concise biography of the person concerned. These entries vary in length from a few lines to several paragraphs, depending on the availability of information or the importance of the individual's legacy. The text is punctuated with intriguing or little-known facts, unearthed in the course of the authors' extensive research. Ornithologists will find this an invaluable reference, especially to sort out birds named after people with identical surnames or in situations where only a person's forenames are used. But all birders will find much of interest in this fascinating volume, a book to dip into time and time again whenever their curiosity is aroused.

Download or read book Sparrows and Buntings written by Clive Byers and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The sparrows and buntings offer a great identification challenge. Many are long-distance migrants, while others are rare and local. Although most male buntings acquire a bright plumage, many sparrows fit the description of "little brown bird" very well. Still, a closer look reveals intricate and often quite beautiful plumage details that will enable positive identification." "This book is the first comprehensive guide to all the sparrows and buntings of North America, as well as the buntings of Europe, Asia, and Africa, 110 species in all. The detailed, authoritative descriptions include not only the birds' identifying features but their natural history as well. The 39 color plates depict all the plumages of every species and race described. A range map is included for each species. This beautiful book will help solve the tricky identification problems posed by a delightful and diverse family of birds."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
