With the release of the 16th volume of the "Handbook of the Birds of the World", this project has now been brought to completion. In the 20 years that
have past since this project started some new species have been discovered. The Special Volume will cover and illustrate all these species, 57 in
total with texts, plates and distribution maps in typical HBW format.
This volume will furthermore include a comprehensive introduction by Jon Fjeldsa on the changes in bird macrosystematics that have occurred in the last two decades. Also, in response to the many requests from subscribers over the years, the Special Volume will include a global index to the collection, an indispensable and useful tool which will enable users to quickly find the specific species they are looking for in the more than 12,500 pages of the 16 volumes.
