Main description: The Atlas of
Birds
captures the breathtaking diversity of
birds
, and illuminates their
conservation
status around the world. Full-color
maps
show where
birds
are found, both by country and terrain, and reveal how an astounding variety of behavioral adaptations--from flight and feeding to nest building and song--have enabled them to thrive in virtually every habitat on Earth.
Maps
of individual journeys and global flyways chart the amazing phenomenon of bird migration, while bird classification is explained using
maps
for each order and many key families.
Conservation
provides a strong focus throughout, with
maps
illustrating where and why
birds
are most under threat, and what is being done to protect them. Separate sections examine key factors influencing their distribution and endangering their survival, from deforestation and climate change to invasive species and the cage-bird trade. Bird groups most affected, such as island endemics, are highlighted, while a fascinating chapter explores the complex historical relationship between
birds
and humans, with
maps
and data for everything from poultry farming to birdwatching. The
maps
are supported by an authoritative text that uses the very latest data and case studies from BirdLife International. Packed with sumptuous photos, original diagrams, and imaginative graphics that bring the numbers to life, this book is a stunning and timely insight into perhaps the most colorful and intriguing group of organisms on our planet. The premier illustrated atlas of bird diversity, behavior, and
conservation
