Reviews"This timely book relays the realistically positive message that raptors and man can safely co-exist, even in the most intensively modified of urban and cultivated landscapes. This timely volume will provide an extremely valuableguide not only to interested ornithologists and DIY birdwatchers but to biologists and conservation bodies and to engineers and managers in towns and cities, whether parkland, electrical, water quality authorities, farmers, or foresters." --IBIS "The papers presented in this volume provide encouraging evidence that not all raptors are wilderness species that disappear in human-altered landscapes. In fact, this book provides data suggesting that at least 30 raptor species worldwide are resilient to human alterations, and a subset of this group may actually benefit from those altered environments." --THE CONDOR (1999)
