Front Cover
1 Review
YALE University Press, 1990 - Nature - 1111 pages
In this book two ornithologists, Charles G. Sibley and Burt L. Monroe, Jr., present descriptions of the geographic distributions, and comments about the species-level taxonomy, of the living birds of the world. The accounts of the 9672 species are arranged according to the classification developed by Sibley, Monroe, and Jon Ahlquist. Sibley and Monroe provide new and detailed information on the distribution of each species and an appendix includes twenty-four maps and a gazetteer giving the positions of the localities mentioned in the text.
