Ratites and Tinamous (Davies) Bird Families of the World

Ratites and Tinamous are mainly to be found in the southern hemisphere yet recent fossil discoveries in Europe, Asia and North America Indicate that this may not always have been the case. Detailed maps show the most recent distribution of each species. The book covers areas such as the evolution, anatomy, behavioral patterns, mythology and farming of these fascinating birds. In the second section, individual species are thoroughly described. Filled with beautiful illustrations on 12 plates.
