HI ALL:
Here's this week's issue of the Birdbooker Report:
http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2008/12/birdbooker_report_43.php
Books I reviewed this week are:
1) Birdscapes ( a pop-up stero sound celebration of bird song).
2) Flight Identification of European Seabirds.
3) Rare Birds Yearbook 2009.
4) Darwin For Beginners.
5) The Primate Family Tree.
6) A Complete Guide to Arctic Wildlife.
SINCE the holiday gift giving season is upon on us, below is a list of the
best selling nature books that would make nice gifts:
1) Birdscapes (see link above!)
2) Alex and Me by Pepperberg
3) The Owl and Woodpecker by Bannick
4) The Weather of the Pacific Northwest by Mass
I would like to recommend these two books:
1) Nest and Egg by Purcell et al.
2) Field Guide to the Birds of Western North America ( National Geographic
Society).
sincerely
