What's more, these aren't all just obscure brown birds on tiny islands-- witness the bizarre Bare-faced Bulbul from Laos (2009), spectacular Araripe Manakin from Brazil (1998), or gaudy Bugun Liocichla from north-east India (2006). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book documents all of these remarkable discoveries made since 1960, from Barau's Petrel onwards, covering around 300 species. It fills an important gap in the ornithological literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in an engaging style, \u003ci\u003eBirds New to Science\u003c\/i\u003e provides a rich reference to an era of adventure in ornithology. Each species account discusses the story of the discovery, with photographs of the birds where available, along with a discussion of what is known about the species' biology, habitat, and distribution, with a strong conservation message--most of the species in the book are either vulnerable or endangered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Helm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472906281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.90w x 1.10d","brand":"David Brewer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44240986669237,"sku":"9781472906281","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_1b8d037a-1cf2-4d72-a687-e973f79bca09.jpg?v=1717470314","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/birds-new-to-science-fifty-years-of-avian-discoveries-9781472906281","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
