The Birds of the Western Palearctic, Concise Edition

This major reference text comprises updated and shortened texts from the complete 9-volume work. Every species is covered and illustrated, plus there are some 70 new species accounts (for species new to the Western Palearctic, and taxonomic revisions splitting a single species into two or more). A significant number of plates from Volumes 1 to 5 have been repainted, and many maps have been redrawn.
