Colour photograph plates, b/w illsutrations by Dan Powell, charts, maps, bibliography. Blue boards. Fine in dust-wrapper. This is a detailed and authoritative study of the sea birds of the world and their environment, based on Anthony J. Gaston's decades of field research into his subjects.

Chapters include: Introduction to marine ornithology and oceanography; Types of seabirds - history, taxonomy, diversity; Adaptation, particularly their morphology; Plumage; Distribution and communities - where they are, why they're there, and how this relates to their taxonomic distribution; Feeding behaviour - how to study it, and what you find when you do; Migration and movement, the affect of weather patterns; Breeding, coloniality and its consequences - why colonies in the first place, why are the colonies where they are, why colonies and not territories; Birth and death - some theories; Birth and death - observations in the field. Lots of field research, much consideration of the wider literature, especially in the light of numerous conflicting theories. Informative and readable, and well in the tradition of this fine series of monographs. PREVIOUS PRICE GBP 44.00.…

Original Red Hardback. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1992. xviii, 249pp. B&W photos, illustrations, woodcuts, maps, etc. "Breeding along the northern Pacific coast from British Columbia to Japan, this little known bird dwelt in relative obscurity until it became the focus of a conservation debate which has resulted in a new National Park in the Queen Charlotte Islands where half the world's population breeds. It made the headlines again when a lost, lone bird suddenly appeared at Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel, England, in May 1990 and again in April 1991. The Ancient Murrelet and its three congeners are unique amongst seabirds in that their young are entirely precocial, leaving the nest as soon as they hatch to grow up at sea. Tony Gaston [of the CanadianWildlife Service] has carried out only the detailed study of the bird, in the fine mature coastal forests of the Queen Charlotte Islands. His work has revealed their complex social behaviour, the song behaviour of the males and the species' response to the variety of predators which they face - from Peregrines to Deer Mice. His story is set against a survey of the species worldwide and the grandeur of the northwest Pacific coast. The illustrations of Ian Jones, who also assisted with the research, capture the bird and its environment beautifully." Dust jacket has 2 small punctures to the rear flap and the spine illustration is slightly sunned as is common with these titles. Not price-clipped. Book has gilt titles and decoration to spine and is in excellent condition with no inscriptions. The dust jacket is in an easily removed clear plastic protective cover. Ian Jones (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The Great Himalayan National Park Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most important protected areas in the Himalayas, one of the World's great biological realms. The book is intended both as a history and an ecological overview of the Park and as a plea for continuing conservation of the rich legacy of Himalayan plants and animals. In addition to descriptions of the ecology, the book includes local history and culture and a review of current development in the region. The inscription of the Park into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014 confirmed the Outstanding Universal Values of the area, which contains the most important and significant natural habitats for in-situ conservation of Western Himalayan biological diversity. The pictures, taken by the authors and their collaborators, vividly illustrate the grandeur and diversity of the area. The book has universal appeal: to naturalists, scholars, resource managers, trekkers, arm-chair travellers. Success and failure along the road to creating today's Park are discussed frankly to inform future management efforts and there are numerous examples of conservation in action that will motivate a new generation of naturalists and ecologists to continue the fight to protect the ecology of the greatest mountains on earth.
