2003réf. 010281Princeton: Princeton University Press 2003. Pipits and Wagtails is the first comprehensive one-volume guide to the twenty-six species and all subspecies that occur in the vast swath of Europe Asia and North America known as the Holarctic. These birds are a notoriously difficult group to differentiate and so the authors--the world's two leading authorities in this field--have gone to exhaustive lengths to ensure that no aspect of identification has been omitted. Twenty-six full color plates and some part plates depict all the species and distinct subspecies in different plumages. To help further with identification the book includes nearly 250 color photographs numerous line drawings and color distribution maps for each species. The detailed species accounts cover all aspects of identification: taxonomy size and structure plumage geographical variation anatomical measurements molt and aging sexing voice behavior distribution and habitat. They also include sonograms of the species' unique songs and calls. Great care has been taken to accurately illustrate and describe plumage differences between all valid subspecies as well as differences relating to sex and aging. Unparalleled in breadth and detail Pipits and Wagtails is the ultimate reference guide for anyone interested in this group of birds.

Eric Hosking OBE Hon FRPS FBIPP 1909-1991 was widely acknowledged as one of the world's most eminent natural history photographers "Perhaps the most famous bird photographer ever to have lived" Gemma Padley. He was pioneering and developed new techniques especially the use of flash photography and automatic shutter release technology which enabled him to photograph birds at night and freeze birds in flight for the first time. Famously when just 28 he lost an eye to a tawny owl while climbing up to a hide in rural Wales the event which inspired the ingeneous title of his autobiography "An Eye for a Bird" 1970. Over his exceptionally long career he photographed over 1800 species and his pictures have appeared in some 1000 books including the popular New Naturalist series of which he was photographic editor. Hosking was not only a photographer of birds but also a highly knowledgeable ornithologist. H. F. & G. Witherby Hardcover
