Storks, Ibises and Spoonbills of the World
de James A. Hancock (Ed. Princeton University Press) Isbn : 0123227305
64.52 € / 423.22 FF
Some of the world's largest and most spectacular birds are to be found among this group of wading birds. Tragically, they also include many of the world's most endangered species, as changes in land use erode their wetland habitats. Some like the White Stork have lived alongside humans for hundreds of years and are well known from numerous studies. Others, like the Storm's stork and ibises of West Africa, South-East Asia and South America live so secluded a life in the remote corners of the globe that they will probably be extinct before even the most basic details of their biology are known. In this monograph, three authors and two artists have combined their skills to capture what is known of this group of wading birds. The text opens with general chapters on taxonomy and feeding, breedi...

Snow Geese: Grandeur and Calamity on an Arctic Landscape
de Bruce D. J. Batt (Ed. Ducks Unlimited) Isbn : 1572231823
14.99 € / 98.33 FF
Snow Geese : Grandeur and Calamity on an Arctic Landscape chronicles the fascinating life of the lesser snow goose, from Gulf Coast marshes through the farmlands of the U.S. and Canadian Great Plains to Arctic breeding areas. Snow goose populations have grown dramatically since the mid 20th century ; today the lesser snow goose is the most abundant Arctic-nesting goose in the world. Its abundance has wrought serious and long-term degradation on the Arctic habitats upon which the geese depend for sustenance. The degradation threatens the future of the snow goose and all the other species of resident and migratory wildlife that share these habitats. Snow Geese : Grandeur and Calamity on an Arctic Landscape is intended to help the reader understand the causes and consequences of these changes...
