11-Language Handbook to the Names of all Holarctic Birds

A unique reference book for every “birder” – traveling or at home! This book includes the scientific (Latin) names of 31 bird orders, 150 families and 3040 species plus the official names in 10 modern languages.

By nature birds are not concerned with our political borders. Similarly, both professional and non-professional ornithologists are not halted by these borders when determined to track the objects of their passion to wherever they induce them to go. Indeed both “species” are frequent travellers and true citizens of the world.

This 11-language bird names handbook provides ornithologists and leisure “birders” a practical field tool when travelling across continents and seas where they’ll meet fellow ornithologists and natives speaking a variety of languages.
