Hummingbirds : a life-size guide to every species

Fogden, Michael2014
Books
Hummingbirds have always held popular appeal, with their visual brilliance, extraordinary flight dexterity, and jewel-like size and colour. But it is almost as if their beauty has blinded us to their importance. Only recently has their serious scientific study started to gain the attention it demands. With the increasing interest in biodiversity, and the hummingbirds position as the second most diverse bird group after flycatchers, they are a subject growing in significance with each new species discovery. 'Hummingbirds' presents every species, arranged taxonomically, with over 300 birds shown in dazzling, life-size, cut-out photography.
