23.7 €
Green-Armytage, author of Extraordinary Chickens (2000), presents another photo album of beautifully plumaged birds. While not aiming for an encyclopedic treatment of pheasants and instead looking for ways to capture their finery, the author has still assembled a wonderful overview of these gorgeous birds. Ranging from the tragopans, with their blindingly colorful facial skin, to the monals, with iridescent plumage, all the birds pictured will delight the eye. The text gives a brief history and classification of the pheasant family, with notes on the individual species or forms pictured. This beautiful book will find a readership in both bird lovers and fans of marvelous photography. Nancy BentCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
