ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1988 ). 1988 1st edition. 4to. Ppxx,490. B/w photographs & ills, b/w ills by Darren Rees, bibliography, foreword by Sir Peter Scott. Grey boards. Very good in slightly used dust-wrapper. "Over one hundred species of European and north African birds bear English of Latin names which commemorate people. But who were Steller, Bonaparte, Cetti, Sabine, Eleonora and the rest and how did their names become attached to the various species? Barbara and Richard Mearns have long been fascinated by just this question. Their researches into the lives of the people involved have taken them on the voyages and travels of the early naturalist-explorers, as well as into some intriguing and diverting historical backwaters. Almost all of the nienty-one people described are illustrated in contemporary portraits and every one of the species named isbeautifully drawn by Darren Rees." Fascinating and interesting, and an important contribution to the history of exploration, natural history, and zoological collecting. .
