Flexi-binding in fine condition, minor bumped corners, previous owner's name on ffep. This stunningly illustrated book from acclaimed birder and photographer Richard Crossley revolutionizes birding by providing the first real-life approach to identification. Unlike other guides, which provide isolated individual photographs or illustrations, this is the first book to feature large, lifelike scenes for each species. These scenes - 680 in all - are each composed of 12 to 20 color images showing the bird in a wide range of views - near and far, from different angles, in various plumages and behaviors, including flight, and in the habitat in which they live.
