The Wrens and warblers of Australia: The National Photographic Index of Australian Wildlife book by John Douglas Pringle
Seller: West Cove UK, Wellington, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. Pages in unused condition. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Published in association with the Nationall Photographic Index of Australian Wildlife of the Australian Museum, The Wrens and Warblers of Australia is a major new work covering the 85 species generally referred to as wrens and warblers. It is the first in a series of books planned to cover all species of Australian birdlife and to resemble John Gould's acclaimed nineteenth-century work The Birds of Australia through its appeal both to the intellect and to the eye. By presenting a readable yet authoritative text and superb colour illustrations, this attractive volume amply fulfils its aim. However, instead of the paintings of the last century, Wrens and Warblers uses the modern developments of photography and some of the finest colour photographs ever taken of the rich birdlife of Australia have been selected from the Index collection and displayed with care. And, instead of relying on the observations of one busy naturalist, this work relies on the in-tense and expert research of many. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM629-VG-13090
