194pp, central section of black and white photographic plates. Green cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Lightly rubbed spine heel. Free endpapers just starting to tan. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Dust jacket is protected with a Mylar wrap (not adhered), not price clipped. Moving from medieval church records to the present day the author follows the course of ornithology and its expression through literature, showing how the role of the ornithologist has changed and how the discipline was influenced by the great naturalists like Linne, Gilbert White and Charles Darwin.
