Synopsis
Arctic birds have long held a fascination for Richard Vaughan, whose trips to the region, watching and photographing birds, have provided the raw material for a number of previous publications. Here, he focuses on the historical aspects of Arctic ornithology, bringing to life not only the birds but the activities of those who have lived with them, or explored in search of them. A general introduction to the Arctic and the forces that shape its bird populations and their biology is followed by sections on the Eskimo people, the whaling and discovery ships, and the famous ornithologists who have investigated these often inhospitable habitats. Conservation, both of individual species and of habitats, is discussed against the background of threats to the Arctic environment. Since half the Arctic lies in Russia, detailed consideration is naturally given to Arctic bird studies in that country, as well as in North America and Greenland. Purely ornithologist interludes look in detail at the Gyrfalcon, Knots, Ross's Gull, geese, divers, Snowy Owls and many more. The book closes with some practical advice on how to visit the Arctic and where and when to go. Richard Vaughan's own photographs and the drawings of Swedish artist Gunnar Brusewitz show the beauty of both the environment and its birds. Focuses on Arctic birds, native Arctic people, and explorers in the region Written in a literary style Contains a strong conservation message

- 2***v (8)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe packaging was very minimal. One sheet of bubble wrap loosely around the item with way too much room left empty around it in the box. It arrived broken. I sent the photos to the seller immediately, and said I could try gluing the item. This was my attempt to meet in the middle and not require the full refund or the seller to loose out on the return cost of the broken merchandise. The seller offered no compensation.
- 4***r (105)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufMy item was shipped promptly and packaged nicely. It was new as described. Thank you very much!
- v***e (47)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufNot only was I sent the wrong Item, but the seller had the nerve to ask ME to send the book on to the proper customer! So I'm supposed to do her job as well? Pretty nervy to ask a first-time customer to correct a mistake YOU made! You flunked customer service.
