[摘要] Just as the
Birds of North America series did here,
The Birds of Scotland sets a new benchmark for regional avifaunas. It is, without a doubt, the definitive word on the birds of Scotland and clearly will remain so for several decades to come. It will be a critical addition to the ornithological libraries of academic institutions and natural-history museums around the world, and an extremely valuable and pleasing addition to the personal collections of anyone with an interest in the birds of the western Palearctic. For the sheer immensity of information and quality of production, this set is an astonishingly good value at the price. It can be ordered directly from the United Kingdom through the Natural History Book Shop (
www.nhbs.com) or Subbuteo Natural History Books (
www.wildlifebooks.com).
