BOOK REVIEWS : Seabirds of the World: The Complete Reference

Abstract

This exciting new photographic guide provides a welcome addition to the growing references available for those bird species grouped under the heading of "seabirds"—in this case, the penguins, Procellariiformes, most Pelecaniformes, the skuas, gulls, most terns, one skimmer, and the auks. Intelligently, non-marine species such as the "white" pelicans are omitted.
