Excerpt from A Monograph of the Hirundinidae, Vol. 1: Or Family of Swallows For the convenience of binding this work we have divided it into two volumes, but it was originally written with the idea of forming a single volume only. The unexpected growth of the material at our disposal and the discovery of new species have caused the work to extend far beyond the limits originally proposed by us, and therefore the division of the volume into two portions may be found more convenient. The paging, however, is consecutive, as is also the numbering of the Plates, throughout both of the proposed volumes, as the numbering of the Plates had been settled before the idea of a subdivision of the work occurred to us. It remains only to thank the many friends who have interested themselves in our labours, and to assure them that the long delay in the completion of the volumes has been caused by the pressure of official work, and also by a desire to make the book as complete a 'Monograph' as was possible. Thus great attention has been devoted to the migration and geographical distribution of the interesting birds of which the volumes treat, and we hope that the introduction of the "Tables of Geographical Distribution," with the symbols agreed upon by the "Second International Congress" at Budapest, will be found instructive, as well as the illustration, by means of coloured maps, of the range of each species. To our excellent printers, Messrs. Taylor and Francis, we owe our heartiest acknowledgments for the care and attention they have shown. The colouring of the Plates has been executed by Miss Bertha Sharpe and Miss Dora Sharpe, with the occasional help of their sisters Emily and Eva. In the early parts they were assisted by Miss Florence Wilson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In 1712, English naturalist Mark Catesby (1683–1749) crossed the Atlantic to Virginia. After a seven-year stay, he returned to England with paintings of plants and animals he had studied. They sufficiently impressed other naturalists that in 1722 several Fellows of the Royal Society sponsored his return to North America. There Catesby cataloged the flora and fauna of the Carolinas and the Bahamas by gathering seeds and specimens, compiling notes, and making watercolor sketches. Going home to England after five years, he began the twenty-year task of writing, etching, and publishing his monumental The Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands. Mark Catesby was a man of exceptional courage and determination combined with insatiable curiosity and multiple talents. Nevertheless no portrait of him is known. The international contributors to this volume review Catesby’s biography alongside the historical and scientific significance of his work. Ultimately, this lavishly illustrated volume advances knowledge of Catesby’s explorations, collections, artwork, and publications in order to reassess his importance within the pantheon of early naturalists.

This reference guide gives general details about the swallows and martins of the world. These include appearance, the basic coloration and differences between the sexes and immatures and the function of other areas of colouring. Several species within the same geographical area are often segregated by feeding in different habitats or at different heights or by eating different size-classes of insects. The two sub-families, one being the two river martins, the other containing about 72 species mainly in the genus hirundo, are dealt with, including their distribution and migration patterns. Feeding, courtship and breeding habits are considered, together with details of nesting sites, clutch size, incubation and life-span. Finally, the population sizes of the various species are examined, noting that whilst many have expanded their range by using man-made structures, forest species probably remain small and one species, the Red Sea swallow is known from only one specimen. The book follows the same approach, style and presentation as The Herons Handbook published in 1985. It is illustrated by the winner of the prestigious British Birds Illustrator of the Year Award and the author has contributed to many scientific papers and journals including BBC's Wildlife Magazine.

A marvelously illustrated A-to-Z compendium of bird names from around the globe The Bird Name Book is an alphabetical reference book on the origins and meanings of common group bird names, from “accentor” to “zeledonia.” A cornucopia of engaging facts and anecdotes, this superbly researched compendium presents a wealth of incisive entries alongside stunning photos by the author and beautiful historic prints and watercolors. Myers provides brief biographies of prominent figures in ornithology—such as John Gould, John Latham, Alfred Newton, and Robert Ridgway—and goes on to describe the etymological history of every common group bird name found in standardized English. She interweaves the stories behind the names with quotes from publications dating back to the 1400s, illuminating the shared evolution of language and our relationships with birds, and rooting the names in the history of ornithological discovery. Whether you are a well-traveled birder or have ever wondered how the birds in your backyard got their names, The Bird Name Book is an ideal companion.
