Eagles: The World of Animals

Very Good used hard cover in very good dust jacket.  Some aging to end papers.  DJ has shelf wear, fading, creases, and small tear at bottom edge. 

Some 59 species of large birds of prey are called Eagles. These diurnal raptors are divided into four main groups, not very closely related: Sea and Fish Eagles, Snake Eagles, Harpy and Crested Eagles, and lastly, the true or Booted Eagles with feathered tarsi. This splendidly illustrated book is an authoritative summary of the behavior of eagles throughout the world.  Mr Brown shows that eagles are, as a whole, harmless or beneficial to mankind, and makes an effective plea for their conservation. Part of The World of Animals series, 1970.

Illustrated with 16 pages of color and 60 black and white photographs.
