Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Errol Fuller (illustrateur). Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. Hardcover. English. Pub Year 1987, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Extinct Birds is a comprehensive examination of the world?s recently extinct bird species, marking the first complete survey since Walter Rothschild?s seminal work in 1907. Author Errol Fuller draws upon a multitude of evidence and speculation, expertly balancing scientific accuracy with a lively and engaging narrative style. Since 1600, approximately 75 bird species have disappeared, with many extinctions occurring since Rothschild's original publication.Fuller?s accounts of these birds, their habitats, and their fates are derived from a diverse range of sources. The evidence blends preserved cabinet skins and skeletal specimens with eye-witness accounts from early travellers and explorers. In some cases, the documentation is intriguingly scant, with only isolated sightings affirming a species' existence. Conversely, the expeditions undertaken by nineteenth-century naturalists provide rich detail, often supported by exquisite drawings and paintings. For more recent extinctions, knowledge can be so thorough that the exact time and location of the last individual?s demise are known.Nearly all species discussed in the book are accompanied by colour plates from archival sources, featuring works by renowned wildlife artists such as Audubon, Keulemans, Wolf, and Lear. These artists had the unique advantage of studying fresh specimens or living birds, contributing significantly to both scientific understanding and the aesthetic beauty of the illustrations.The narratives surrounding these birds evoke a range of emotions, from fantastical and humorous to deeply poignant. Ultimately, they serve as a reflection on loss and the fragility of the natural world, offering readers both insight and sorrow over the extinctions that have shaped our avian history. (MP).
