The Peregrine Falcon

Very Good used hardcover in a good dust jacket.  Corners of book and edges of spine are bumped.  Edges of pages slightly faded. Some creasing to edges of DJ and shelf wear.

The first edition of The Peregrine Falcon was widely recognized as a classic of its kind, documenting not only the species' biology but the sad story of its decline due to the impact of pesticides. This extensively revised and enlarged second edition takes full account of important new developments in the story of this bird during the years since the first publication. Many of the tables and figures have been revised and brought up-to-date so that this volume is by far the most detailed and readable reference on this most evocative of birds. Donald Watson's color paintings, monochrome washes and line drawings, as well as the original photographs, illustrate the book as before.

Key Features:

* The long awaited up-to-date revision of the classic bestseller

* Latest information on status and distribution of the species

* Updated information on all aspects of the species biology
