Australian Bird Names

Australian Bird Names PDF Author: Ian Fraser
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 1486311652
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 629

Book Description
This second edition of Australian Bird Names is a completely updated checklist of Australian birds and the meanings behind their common and scientific names, which may be useful, useless or downright misleading! For each species, the authors examine the many-and-varied common names and full scientific name, with derivation, translation and a guide to pronunciation. Stories behind the name are included, as well as relevant aspects of biology, conservation and history. Original descriptions, translated by the authors, have been sourced for many species. As well as being a book about names, this is a book about the history of the ever-developing understanding of birds, about the people who contributed to this understanding and, most of all, about the birds themselves. This second edition has been revised to follow current taxonomy and understanding of the relationships between families, genera and species. It contains new taxa, updated text and new vagrants and will be interesting reading for anyone with a love of birds, words or the history of Australian biology and bird-watching.

Too Many Bird Books

Too Many Bird Books PDF Author: Geoffrey Dabb
Publisher: Australian Self Publishing Group
ISBN: 1922920614
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 160

Book Description
This is a chronicle of encounters with a lot of bird books, in fact a lifetime of such encounters. The world of bird books is vast and varied, defying coherent descriptions. The author’s qualification for making this attempt to describe it is that he owns several hundred of them, gathered over more than 70 years. To help make sense of this obsession, the description of the books is linked to life in which traditional birdwatching (and book hunting) went on, in different places, and in between other things.
