Inhaltsangabe
Albatrosses are long-lived seabirds that have long impressed those who travel the oceans, although this admiration has not prevented them from being killed in large numbers. They are famed for their supreme adaptations to the marine environment, breeding on remote islands and spending most of their lives at sea flying immense distances.
Drawing on his own fieldwork and a comprehensive review of the literature, W.L.N. Tickell now presents the first comparative account of the albatross family. He explores albatross natural history from a geographic point of view, arranging the birds in four groups for convenience. He describes the various forms within each group, their distribution and breeding biology, as well as comparative treatments of moult, flight, behavior, and ecology. He concludes with a review of conservation and human attitudes toward albatrosses. His authoritative text is accompanied by numerous maps, tables, diagrams, and color photographs.

See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Albatrosses are long-lived seabirds which have long impressed those who travel the oceans, although this admiration has not prevented them from being killed in large numbers. They are famed for their supreme adap-tations to the marine environment, breeding on remote islands and spending most of their lives at sea flying immense distances. This is the first comparative account of the albatross family. It is based on personal experience and a comprehensive review of the literature. The book explores albatross natural history from a geographic point of view, arranging the birds in four groups for convenience. Albatross taxonomy is currently subject to some debate; traditionally, the family has comprised 13 species in two genera, but recently it has been proposed that 24 species in four genera should be recognised. Most species inhabit the Southern Ocean. The author describes the various forms within each group, their distribution and breeding biology, as well as com-parative treat.
