THE BOOK OF INDIAN BIRDS 13/E
Product ID: 76544686
This much-awaited revised edition includes the extensive changes in the scientific and common bird names that have taken place since the last revision in 1996. Following the publication, in 2001, of the list of Standardized Common and Scientific Names of the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent in the Buceros 6 (1), the common and scientific names have been modified based on this list. It is expected that this will provide uniformity in the names used throughout the Subcontinent and outside, and help birdwatchers to communicate better while exchanging their observations. The Alternate Common Names given in the earlier edition have been removed. The Index of common names of species, giving plate and serial numbers, has been replaced with separate Indexes of Scientific and Common names according to page numbers. Minor errors that were overlooked in the earlier edition have also been rectified. Review: Nice book - Very nice book, nice information about the birds, nice photos of birds, and for identification of birds. Review: The Alltime Classic - What should i write about a classic book on ornithology ? Written by one of the father figure of conservation in India this book is a must possession for all the nature lovers. Many people has complained about the artistic drawings in this book for their less accuracy , but i think before making a complain one should think about the time when the book was actually writren. Back then there is very less facility of wildlife photography and less technology of publishing. In those circumstances this classic book with its unparalleled detailed description with nearly perfect drawings stands tall. For those who are looking for a useful book on birds with reallife photos, I would like to suggest the magnum opus creation by Bikram Grewal and his team - "A Pictorial Field Guide to Birds of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri lanka and Bangaladesh".
