Originally published in 1994; reprinted in hardback in 2013.

Brings together a comprehensive review of the world's pheasants, partridges, quails, grouse, turkeys, guineafowl, buttonquails, sandgrouse, and the enigmatic Plains-wanderer - over 250 species in all. This book concentrates on detailed identification and distribution, but also highlights conservation issues where relevant.

In no other group of perching birds has evolution produced such a degree of variation as in the 120 species of crows and jays. This guide details all species of corvid, combining text which treats each species in depth, summarizing identification techniques and reviewing all aspects of corvid behavior, distribution, population, and taxonomy.
