Críticas:

David Ramsden MBE, Head of Conservation, Barn owl Trust: James Duncan's new book is a photographic feast containing a truly wonderful collection of stunning owl portraits and action shots. Whilst Owls of the World makes no attempt to present all that is known, the calibre of its author and the wise words he delivers place it head and shoulders above many similar books that adorn 'coffee tables' around the world.This book, above all else, encourages people to care about owls. As Dr Jim Duncan, a scientist, rightly points out "people protect things they care about...science alone will not benefit owls if people do not value them". To this end, Owls of the World is an absolutely brilliant book. "It is a knowledgeable and scholarly overview of the owls, written in a style that makes it accessible to the non-specialist, and illustrated with a mass of images, many of quite outstanding quality...thoroughly recommended! David Parkin/British Birds Magazine Dec 2016"

Reseña del editor:

The best and most up-to-date book on owls available. Packed with beautiful illustrations, it explores owl behaviour and lifecycle, including hunting, courtship, breeding and special adaptations for nocturnal life. There is a chapter on each owl family, from the huge eagle owls to the diminutive pygmy owls and owlets. Author Jim Duncan has studied owls for more than two decades and has banded more than 2,500 owls as part of his research.
