Rezension zu „10 THOUSAND BIRDS “
"A first-class review not only of the recent history of ornithology but also of the key players involved. No other book of this type comes anywhere near this one in its breadth of coverage and depth of scholarship. Ten Thousand Birds is in a class by itself, and an outstanding read."--Ian Newton, author of The Migration Ecology of Birds
