Many scientific bird names describe a bird's habits, habitat,
distribution or a plumage feature, while others are named after their
discoverers or in honour of prominent ornithologists. This
extraordinary work of reference lists the generic and specific name for
almost every species of bird in the world and gives its meaning and
derivation. In the case of eponyms brief biographical details are
provided for each of the personalities commemorated in the scientific
names. This fascinating book is an outstanding source of information
which will both educate and inform, and may even help to understand
birds better.
