It also describes how birds have adapted, and how they continue to cope with such inhospitable habitats as tropical rainforests, arid deserts and the frigid Antarctic continent. Readers will find detailed information about the remarkable phenomenon of avian migration across continents and oceans, which covers the mechanics of flight and the structure of feathers. Birders will welcome this profusely and beautifully illustrated book -- with its expert information -- as an ideal reference and resource guide.

There is always a market for new books about birds, and this example from ornithologist and author ( The Parrot Who Owns Me, 2001) Burger is a fine addition. Intended as an introduction to the avian world, the book succeeds admirably as a primer on birds. Divided into six sections, the text considers all aspects of birds' lives. Basic anatomy, evolution, physiology, and intelligence are all touched on in the first section, while bird behavior (a specialty of the author), from nesting to display to feeding, is covered in the second. A large section examines the taxonomy of birds, with two to four pages on each group, accompanied by a world map showing its distribution. Habitat, migration, and how birds fill their space are discussed in the fourth section, followed by a look at avian adaptations and lifestyles. The final section, on birds and humans, covers such disparate topics as birds in legend, bird-watching, captive birds, and habitat loss. Beautifully illustrated.http://www.msinziniering.com/userfiles/eltek-powersuite-user-manual(1).xml

(Nancy Bent Booklist 20060915) Packed with more than 500 striking color photographs and illustrations.The author of several books, she is an international birder involved in environmental research. (20061021)No other group of animals ventures so high in the air, nests on all the landmasses, and dives to such great depths below the water. Birds have fascinated us as far back in our history as we can explore. Early humans painted them on cave walls and etched them on rocks; the Egyptians created inlaid images of ibises, geese and eagles on the walls of their pharaohs' tombs; native people nearly everywhere in the world emulated their courtship dances and used their feathers in ceremonial dress. Birds have changed over time, and some have gone extinct, challenging our ability to classify them and understand their evolutionary relationships. Today, many birds are under threat or endangered. Conservation is a global issue that requires international cooperation. Practical measures, however, are controlled predominantly at local and regional levels and they depend on public support and commitment for their success. Anyone can study the wonder of birds, from backyard birdwatchers to university scientists. The more we learn, the more fascinating birds become. So join us on a journey through the world of birds, from their beginnings as small competitors surrounded by giant dinosaurs, to the divergence to nearly 10,000 different species living in a wide range of habitats, exhibiting diverse plumages and lifestyles. Delight in these master of the sky and explore their amazing adaptations, fascinating courtship and mating behavior, and incredible beauty.

Available now at local and online book retailers. Your support helps secure a future for birds at risk. I owe this renewed ardor for avian observation to a magnificent new volume simply called BIRD. If you appreciate truth in advertising in service to an exhaustive, eye-popping review of the world’s abundance of avifauna, you will absolutely love this book. BIRD: The Definitive Visual Guide is aptly titled. First of all, this book is unabashedly about birds. Audubon and DK Publishing, along with BirdLife International and a host of other contributors, have created the consummate birding coffee table book, big and beautiful in equal measures. Although it treats specifically with about 1,200 species, BIRD is as definitive on the topic of Class Aves, from tinamous at the top to the bunting ( Painted ) at the bottom, as any single volume could be. And is this guide visual. That Blue-footed Booby on the front cover sets the tone for a photographic tour de force so aesthetically pleasing that one might imagine the publishers are trying to sell birds. In a sense, BIRD is all about marketing its striking subject matter. This treatise devotes its first hundred or so pages to ornithological exposition on subjects as varied as anatomy, diet, behavior, and breeding. It then delves into geography and the varied habitats that support bird life. Next comes nearly 400 packed pages of species profiles replete with vital stats, range maps, brief biographies, and miles and miles of dazzling photographs. These images aren’t meant to illustrate key field marks but rather to depict the diversity of avian allurement. Page after page of stunning portraits make BIRD eminently browsable, while random multi-page panoramas like the muted splendor of a fuzzy Spotted Sandpiper chick nestled in dry leaf litter ensure that this a book to come back to again and again. As magnificent as this magnum opus is, it isn’t perfect. For one thing, if your geography isn’t keen, those range maps can be inscrutable. In addition, the authors sometimes fail to adequately identify a species on display; most American readers won’t connect Kentish Plover to the bird known as the Snowy Plover in the States. But my main concerns revolved around the apparent randomness of species selection. The authors achieved the unenviable task of whittling about 10,000 species down to a manageable fraction but it isn’t apparent what criteria they followed. For example, it appears they didn’t choose the most common representatives of each genus or else we’d see Black Phoebe featured therein. They also didn’t succumb to selecting only the most visually impressive species. In fact, there are plentiful examples of bold birds they left out in favor of more drab specimens. Why choose Warbling Vireo in favor of, say, any of the Solitary complex. For that matter, why include a profile of Yellow-throated Vireo on the same page but leave out an image in favor of the aforementioned oppressively drab Warbling Vireo. Numerous examples of questionable choices can be found, like presenting photos of Song Thrush alongside the lookalike Mistle Thrush while only writing about the reputedly striking Japanese Thrush, but all in all, these complaints seem picayune in the face of brilliance. BIRD: The Definitive Visual Guide is an unsurpassed ambassador piece for birdlife around the world. I own more than my fair share of field guides and reference texts and yet, I’m utterly fascinated by this addictive volume. That a person might peruse this kaleidoscope of avian curiosities and not vow there and then to seek out every one in life is beyond my comprehension. It may not be possible. For that reason, I highly recommend BIRD. Leave this tremendous tome out where the non-initiated might spy it and you’re bound to win over a few birding converts.

At the beginning, the fundamentals of this method were borrowed from basic physics, geometrical and wave optics, acoustics and seismology. Later it became clear that some of these theories and calculation methods could not always explain the phenomena observed in many specific cases of ultrasonic testing. Without knowing the nuances of the ultrasonic wave propagation in the test object it is impossible to design effective inspection technique and search units for it realization. This book clarifies the theoretical differences of ultrasonics from the other wave propagation theories presenting both basics of physics in the wave propagation, elementary mathematic and advanced practical applications. Almost every specific technique presented in this book is proofed by actual experimental data and examples of calculations. Petersburg State University of Water Communications.
