About this book

Language: Italian

With the contribution of some of the leading national and international experts, Federico Cauli, Paolo Galeotti and Fulvio Genero have edited one of the most in-depth volumes ever published on the nocturnal birds of prey in Italy and Europe. As for the one that preceded it, dedicated to diurnal birds of prey, the style has remained the same: a narrative suitable for all types of readers, especially those who want to approach the world of owls with the intention of discovering all their secrets. Each species is described in a broad and exhaustive way. In the general chapters an extraordinary amount of data is presented in understandable language and scientific rigour, which slowly reveals to the reader every aspect of the life and history of owls: the origin, physiology, research techniques, conservation problems, and myths and legends that still accompany them. A journey of over 400 pages into the material and immaterial essence of a group of birds that is unique in the world.

- 182 shots of the best Italian and foreign photographers
- 110 tables and line drawings for the recognition of the species and for the description of their behaviour
- maps, tables and distribution maps

Summary in Italian:
Con il contributo di alcuni fra i massimi esperti in campo nazionale e internazionale, Federico Cauli, Paolo Galeotti e Fulvio Genero hanno curato uno dei volumi più approfonditi mai pubblicato sui rapaci notturni d’Italia e d’Europa. Come per quello che lo ha preceduto, dedicato ai rapaci diurni, lo stile è rimasto lo stesso: una narrazione adatta a ogni tipo di lettore, soprattutto a coloro che vogliono avvicinarsi al mondo dei gufi con l’intenzione di scoprire tutti i loro segreti. Ogni specie viene descritta in maniera ampia ed esauriente. Nei capitoli generali, con linguaggio comprensibile e rigore scientifico, viene presentata una mole di dati straordinaria, che lentamente svela al lettore ogni aspetto della vita e della storia dei gufi: l’origine, la fisiologia, le tecniche di ricerca, i problemi di conservazione, il mito e le leggende che ancora li accompagnano. Un viaggio di oltre 400 pagine nell’essenza, materiale e immateriale, di un gruppo di uccelli unico al mondo.

- 182 scatti dei migliori fotografi italiani e stranieri
- 110 tavole e disegni al tratto per il riconoscimento delle specie e per la descrizione dei loro comportamenti
- mappe, tabelle e cartine di distribuzione
