Great reference guide to rare and vanishing birds

This volume is one of the most accessible references for extinct birds. Cramped with 'prose like' descriptions of the history, demise and, with rare birds, the conservation, this study is a comprehensive overview of most relevent species. This is a mandatory addition to any natural history collection. Great glossy watercolour prints throughout also enhance the appeal to the reader.
