William Collins Sons & Co, Old Crompton Street, London - ISBN:0002192519, 1982. hardcover, 9½" x 12½", with dust jacket. Top of front jacket has slight curl. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket. This book is both a comparative study of falcons, and a celebration of these most masterful of all avian hunters. Dr Tom Cade, professor of ornithology at Cornell, is in the forefront of research programs aimed at breeding and restoring falcons in the outdoors. He provides an essay on each of the thirty-nine species of the genus 'Falco', in which details of distribution, status, hunting, habitat, and special behaviour are considered (each supported with meticulously accurate paintings by R David Digby). As packed book weighs 2kgs, expect slightly higher-than-usual shipping costs (we'll gladly quote you first).
