Book Review: National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of the United States and Canada—West, National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of the United States and Canada—East

Abstract

The release of The National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of the United States and Canada, Eighth Edition affirms a pleasing paradox. In a digital age when identification aids, distribution data, and taxonomic relationships are, quite literally, at one’s fingertips, the demand for hard-copy books on birds has never been greater.
