Inhaltsangabe

Sálim Ali, without question India s greatest ornithologist, was a prolific writer. Apart from his many books (the best known being The Book of Indian Birds), he wrote a large number of scientific papers, essays, and popular articles for a variety of journals, and magazines. He also broadcast radio talks and gave public lectures as well as interviews. This body of Sálim Ali s work has never before been gathered together into a book.This first-time collection of all these shorter writings, painstakingly ferreted out and put together by Sálim Ali s former student Tara Gandhi (with the permission of the Bombay Natural History Society, Sálim Ali s intellectual and spiritual home for many years), presents a fascinating array of topics as diverse as the Indian landscapes and birdlife that were his passion. Whether it is the colours of a bird's feathers or the ecology of the Himalaya mountains or an insightful conservation message, Salim Ali s evocative writing style makes reading this volume enormously pleasurable. Of its intellectual and academic importance to the world s ornithologists, to India s scientists, and to all bird lovers, there can be no doubt.
