What is The Hornbills: Bucerotiformes (Bird Families of the World, 1) about?

Beautifully illustrated and magnificently comprehensive, The Hornbills is the most authoritative treatment of all 54 species of these fascinating birds available. Found throughout the Old World--from sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Subcontinent to southeast Asia and Indonesia (to Papua New Guinea)--they are birds of the forest who survive largely on fruits and insects. Named after their large, distinctively shaped bills, they have long fascinated ornithologists with their fascinating social behavior and nesting habits. The first part of the book offers an overview of the family as a whole, describing all facets of hornbill life--including taxonomy, distribution, biology, and behavior--with a summary of the literature, a wealth of examples, and numerous illustrations. The second part features the species accounts, each of which contains a complete description of the bird in its natural state.

This volume--as with others in the Bird Families of the World series--will be indispensable to professional and amateur ornithologists alike. Bird Families of the World is a new multivolume series of
