BOOK REVIEW: A Complete Guide to Antarctic Wildlife: The Birds and Mammals of the Antarctic Continent and Southern Ocean

Abstract

Antarctica and the southern seas are among the last true wildernesses on Earth. Few are lucky enough to visit these areas, and, until now, no single guide has covered their wildlife in a modern format. For readers of Western Birds, this book’s main interest lies in the treatment of southern seabirds that have occurred, or could occur, in North American waters: 106 pages, 9 color plates, and 126 color photos (84 of albatrosses) are devoted to the Procellariiformes.
