With the plethora of single-volume, birds of the world books available today (see 2007. QRB 82:425 \u2013 426), Bird Families of the World undoubtedly rises to the top of the pile thanks to its depth and breadth of coverage, up-to-date avian classification, clear organization, and impressive artwork. Both advanced birders and ornithology students, as well as faculty who teach ornithology-related courses, will find this a useful resource\u2014one that is difficult to place down.\u201d<span style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mark Riegner, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Volume 91, Number 3, September 2016<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"testimonial-meta pt-half\">\n             <strong class=\"testimonial-name test_name\"><\/strong>\n                          <span class=\"testimonial-company test_company\"><\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n  <\/div><!-- .icon-box -->\n\n  \n              <\/div>\n           <\/div><!-- text-box-inner -->\n                            \n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#text-box-21681600 {\n  width: 71%;\n}\n#text-box-21681600 .text {\n  font-size: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n    <\/div><!-- text-box -->\n \n        <\/div><!-- .banner-layers -->\n      <\/div><!-- .banner-inner -->\n\n            \n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#banner-750527017 {\n  padding-top: 300px;\n}\n#banner-750527017 .bg.bg-loaded {\n  background-image: url(https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/newspaper-595478_1920-1024x683.jpg);\n}\n#banner-750527017 .overlay {\n  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);\n}\n#banner-750527017 .bg {\n  background-position: 40% 65%;\n}\n<\/style>\n  <\/div><!-- .banner -->\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"banner has-hover has-parallax\" id=\"banner-138461561\">\n          <div class=\"banner-inner fill\">\n        <div class=\"banner-bg fill\" data-parallax=\"-4\" data-parallax-container=\".banner\" data-parallax-background>\n            <div class=\"bg fill bg-fill \"><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"overlay\"><\/div>            \n                    <\/div><!-- bg-layers -->\n        <div class=\"banner-layers container\">\n            <div class=\"fill banner-link\"><\/div>            \n   <div id=\"text-box-414073049\" class=\"text-box banner-layer x50 md-x50 lg-x50 y50 md-y50 lg-y50 res-text\">\n                                <div class=\"text \">\n              \n              <div class=\"text-inner text-center\">\n                  \n  <div class=\"icon-box testimonial-box icon-box-left text-left\">\n                <div class=\"icon-box-text p-last-0\">\n            \t\t\t\t<div class=\"testimonial-text line-height-small italic test_text first-reset last-reset is-italic\">\n            \n<p>\u201cOverall, this volume manages to convey a large amount of information that will be useful or of interest to a wide range of readers. Because it covers all avian families in a single volume, this book is really designed to provide an introduction to each family and is certainly not a definitive treatise on the variation in each family. However, those who find that the information stimulates their interest in a specific group can seek other sources for a more thorough treatment of a particular family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is another well-designed and fact-filled guide from Lynx.

This volume, however, is an impeccable exposition of the state of play. \/\u2026\/ The subtitle invites us to the spectacular diversity of birds. The book being so splendidly illustrated, it does indeed provide spectacle on every page and can thoroughly be recommended as an introduction to the world of birds. Some readers might be frustrated, though, by the lack of information at species level that can be found in most other books about birds. Text at family level suits a more refined palate but will appeal to the more knowledgeable world birder and provide authoritative reference for students of ornithology, phylogeny and evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Marchant, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bto.org\/understanding-birds\/book-reviews\/bird-families-world-invitation-spectacular-diversity-birds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">British Trust for Ornithology<\/a> (BTO), 2016<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"testimonial-meta pt-half\">\n             <strong class=\"testimonial-name test_name\"><\/strong>\n                          <span class=\"testimonial-company test_company\"><\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n  <\/div><!-- .icon-box -->\n\n  \n              <\/div>\n           <\/div><!-- text-box-inner -->\n                            \n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#text-box-280546534 {\n  width: 71%;\n}\n#text-box-280546534 .text {\n  font-size: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n    <\/div><!-- text-box -->\n \n        <\/div><!-- .banner-layers -->\n      <\/div><!-- .banner-inner -->\n\n            \n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#banner-813938331 {\n  padding-top: 300px;\n}\n#banner-813938331 .bg.bg-loaded {\n  background-image: url(https:\/\/archive.lynxnaturebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/premsa2-1024x678.jpg);\n}\n#banner-813938331 .overlay {\n  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);\n}\n#banner-813938331 .bg {\n  background-position: 40% 65%;\n}\n<\/style>\n  <\/div><!-- .banner -->\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"banner has-hover has-parallax\" id=\"banner-144570107\">\n          <div class=\"banner-inner fill\">\n        <div class=\"banner-bg fill\" data-parallax=\"-4\" data-parallax-container=\".banner\" data-parallax-background>\n            <div class=\"bg fill bg-fill \"><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"overlay\"><\/div>            \n                    <\/div><!-- bg-layers -->\n        <div class=\"banner-layers container\">\n            <div class=\"fill banner-link\"><\/div>            \n   <div id=\"text-box-569520024\" class=\"text-box banner-layer x50 md-x50 lg-x50 y50 md-y50 lg-y50 res-text\">\n                                <div class=\"text \">\n              \n              <div class=\"text-inner text-center\">\n                  \n  <div class=\"icon-box testimonial-box icon-box-left text-left\">\n                <div class=\"icon-box-text p-last-0\">\n            \t\t\t\t<div class=\"testimonial-text line-height-small italic test_text first-reset last-reset is-italic\">\n            \n<p>\u201cSubtitled An Invitation to the Spectacular Diversity of Birds, this expansive tome from Lynx Edicions continues the publisher&#8217;s post-Handbook of the Birds of the World output in typically comprehensive style.

It is for anyone with an interest in birds. Each segment of the readership should take from the book what they wish.

Yet the grand diversity of birds is also a challenge, as it is easy to become disoriented amidst a group that contains more than 10,000 species that vary in nearly all of their most conspicuous attributes. Learning avian diversity requires a mental map to help us organize our experiences and observations. The scientific classification of birds provides exactly this framework, grouping together into Orders and Families birds that are most closely related to one another, and thereby linking species that share distinguishing traits. For those interested in learning about the tremendous diversity of birds world-wide, the best way to start is to learn the families, and this volume is a guide and invitation to do so.<\/p>\n<p>This book has been designed to serve both as a text for ornithology courses and as a resource for serious bird enthusiasts of all levels. Technical terminology is much reduced, and all scientific terms used are defined in a glossary. Introductory material describes the scope and concepts behind the classification used and gives suggestions about how best to use the book. The bulk of the volume is a family-by-family account of the birds of the world. For each family there is a distribution map with the breeding, non-breeding and year-round ranges of each family, a short text \u201cteaser\u201d to invite the reader to learn more, standardized descriptions of the appearance, relationships and similar species to each family\u2019s members, their life history and conservation status. Each account includes a review of recent ideas about the relationships of the family to other families and relationships within it. The work is liberally illustrated by photographs from bird enthusiasts around the globe as well as paintings of one species from each of the genera in each family. It will be a beautiful and serviceable guide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2417 bird illustrations<\/li>\n<li>797 colour photos<\/li>\n<li>252 distribution maps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Co-published by <strong>Lynx Edicions<\/strong> and the <strong>Cornell Lab of Ornithology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here in one volume is a synopsis of the diversity of all birds.
