4.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone, but a comprehensive study..., September 17, 2002
By Angela L. Consani (Leavenworth, KS United States) - See all my reviews
If you are looking for a coffee table book with lots of glossy pictures, this book is not for you. However, if you are looking for a comprehensive study on the history, breeding, and ecology of this tribe, this is the book for you. As for myself, I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip through it and I love having it on the shelf as a reference.
