Hardcover. Etat : New. This is the first book to explain the importance of priority in relation to names in ornithology and in the context of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Backgrounds are first provided on the Code and on printing and publishing over the last 250 years. The compilers then bring together reports on 148 books and 121 periodicals in zoology which, between them, present almost all the challenges that can make date determination problematic. The reports provide links to the published authorities and are supported by tables containing extensive detail about the subsidiary parts or issues with their pagination and dates. This book and the included CD Rom are a searchable treasure trove. Compiled by Edward C. Dickinson, Leslie K. Overstreet, Robert J. Dowsett and Murray D. Bruce with the help of over 50 contributors and many others. The CD ROM holds over 160 pp of printable tables. "Scientific names are used by biologists all over the world as their 'common language'. These names are vital to communicate clearly and efficiently about the amazing life around us. This book is the result of countless hours of detective work into the dating of publications establishing new scientific names of birds. This task is essential to ascertain the priority of names and hence the correct scientific name to be used as valid today. Although this book focuses on bird literature, the considerable body of historical information given on natural history books and periodicals will be of great interest to all biologists." -Patrice Bouchard, Coleopterist, Canadian National Collection of Insects, Ottawa, Canada. "'Priority!' is a solid testament to the hard labors of its authors in researching the dates of natural history publications in order to resolve difficult issues of priority among bird names. Five years of rigorous bibliographic detective work has resulted in an indispensable reference work for all zoologists." -Neal L. Evenhuis, Entomologist, Bishop Museum, Honolulu, U.S.A.

Hardback. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. has highlighter marks on 2 pages, cd is included, In excellent condition. No writing or markings, book is crisp and clean. 100% satisfaction guarantee. Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. I hand inspect every item. --- Edward C. Dickinson's reference work deals with priority in ornithological nomenclature: how to establish the true publication dates of bird names, which decide which name stands under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. It opens with background chapters on the Code and on 250 years of printing and publishing. One chapter covers hand-press printing practices and how they make it harder to date texts issued before about 1850. Most of the book is a directory of reports on 148 books and 121 zoological periodicals, chosen because together they show nearly every difficulty that can arise in dating. Each report points to the published authorities on the work. Tables give the separate parts or issues of each work with their page ranges and dates. A CD-ROM of dating tables accompanies the volume.
