El tercer volumen del "Handbook of the Birds of the World", Hoatzin to Auks, abarca 30 familias de aves, destacando tanto especies únicas como grupos más amplios. Entre las familias singulares, encontramos aves como el Hoazín, el Carrao y la Tigana de Sudamérica, el Dromas del Oriente Medio, el Picoibis de Asia Central, así como las especies amenazadas como el Kagú de Nueva Caledonia y el Llanero de Australia. Este volumen también explora aves forestales como los raros Mesitos de Madagascar y los Trompeteros de Sudamérica, junto con especies de ambientes abiertos como los Torillos, Chuńas, Avutardas, Sisones, Alcaravanes y Agachonas. Sin embargo, la mayor parte del contenido se centra en las familias acuáticas. Los Rálidos (133 especies), Limícolas (153 especies), Págalos (7 especies), Gaviotas (51 especies), Charranes (44 especies) y Álcidos (22 especies) son meticulosamente descritos, proporcionando una visión completa y detallada de estas fascinantes aves. Este libro es una herramienta indispensable para ornitólogos, amantes de la naturaleza y cualquier persona interesada en la biodiversidad de las aves acuáticas y terrestres alrededor del mundo. Con la colaboración de 34 expertos de 13 países. Prólogo de Robert Bateman sobre arte y naturaleza. Incluye más de 8000 referencias bibliográficas.
