After the chicken, the House Sparrow is the most widely distributed bird species in the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica and on most human-inhabited islands. Although its Latin name is Passer domesticus, it is certainly not domesticated. In fact, it is widely regarded as a pest species and is consequently not protected in most of its extensive range. This combination of ubiquity and minimal legal protection has contributed to its wide use in studies by avian biologists throughout the world. The purpose of this book is to review and summarize the results of these global studies on House Sparrows, and to provide a springboard for future studies on the species. House Sparrows have been used to study natural selection in introduced species, circadian rhythms, and the neuroendocrine control of the avian annual cycle. One current question of considerable interest concerns the catastrophic House Sparrow population declines in several urban centers in Europe. Is the House Sparrow a contemporary canary in the mine? Other topics of broad interest include the reproductive and flock-foraging strategies of sparrows, and sexual selection and the function of the male badge in the species. Anderson also explores the role of the House Sparrow in disease transmission to humans and their domesticated animals.

Excerpt from The House Sparrow: The English Sparrow in America Colonel C. Russell, who contributes the second article, has made the Sparrow Question the subject of close investigation for fifteen years, and the results are given in interesting detail and fulness in his Article. Colonel Russell gave evidence of great value on the Sparrow and other birds, before a Select Committee on the Protection of Wild Birds, June, 1873. Colonel Russell, it may be added, cultivates one of the farms on his estate, and is known to many for his valuable contributions to the 'Report of Observations of Injurious Insects and Farm Pests, ' by Miss Eleanor A. Ormerod. The publishers also desire to express their thanks to this lady for her kind assistance, without which, one of the following contributions would probably have not been obtained. Dr. Elliott Coues is one of the most distinguished Ornithologists in America, and is the author of numerous books and articles on Ornithology. His greatest work is a 'Key to North American Birds, ' etc., with 561 illustrations, a valuable work, the second edition of which was published last year in England, by Messrs. Macmillan and Co.

Excerpt from The House Sparrow at Home and Abroad: With Some Concluding Remarks Upon Its Usefulness, and Copious References to the Literature of the Subject In offering this little volume to the public, the author feels confident that it will meet with a cordial reception from those who have neither the leisure nor the patience to make such investigations as a work like the present requires. In view of the many heated discussions which the sparrow has produced in this country, tending to show its general usefulness, or wholesale destructiveness, a careful and critical survey of its life-history, detailing the minutest particulars thereof, cannot fail to awaken attention and to command respect. A desire to know the subject in all its bearings, must certainly be of paramount importance. Agriculturists and fruit-growers, mainly of all others, will certainly reap the first fruits of such knowledge. The facts, which the writer has gleaned from various fields of observation, but largely from his own, at infinite pains and expense, subserve, in the highest degree, the interests of humanity, and should not be carelessly set aside or lightly considered. With the disappearance of our highly insectivorous native species before the rapid and insolent advances of their hardy foreign brother, and the consequent multiplication of insect foes, must come the destruction of vegetation and the entailment of untold misery upon man and beast.
