In this book, ornithologists Charles G. Sibley and Burt L. Monroe Jr, present descriptions of the geographic distributions, and comments about the species-level taxonomy, of the living birds of the world.

The authors provide new information on the distribution of each species; an appendix includes 24 maps and a gazetteer of the place names mentioned in the text. This volume also provides a cross-referenced index of scientific and English bird names of species.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a must for anyone interested in birds,
By A Customer
This review is from: Distribution and Taxonomy of Birds of the World (Hardcover)
this is not only a complete list of all the modern birds of the world, but a revision based on dna testing by the authors sibley and monroe. This offers a new taxonomy of the worlds birds with many startling changes. It is a fascinating and comprehensive work. those educated on the wetmore and amadon classification will have to reeducate themselves.
