Chilton finally did succeed in seeing every single specimen known to be in existence, but only after travelling the equivalent of 3.3 times around the earth in order to do it. A good read, with much useful information on a hitherto rather obscure subject. .…

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardback. Glen Chilton, Simon & Schuster Australia. The world's leading authority on the extinct Labrador Duck, Dr. Glen Chilton, shares the story of his frenzied obsession to reveal the histories behind the mysterious bird - a saga wherein he sets out to examine the remains of every Labrador Duck, conduct genetic analysis on every egg, and visit every site where the duck was shot, with many a (mis)adventure along the way. More elusive than the passenger pigeon, the dodo, or the Great Auk and breeding in places so obscure that no certain records exist of its nests, the Labrador Duck succumbed to extinction almost before anyone realised it was in decline. When Chilton began his travels, there were thought to be approximately fifty stuffed specimens, scattered among the museums of Europe and North America. However, as his search progressed, it became clear that some specimens had been lost to war and theft, while others lay hidden in far-flung collections, overseen by secretive curators. After travelling the equivalent of 3.3 times around the world, Chilton finally began to close in on every known specimen. A magnificent blend of travel writing, science, detective work, and mishap, this is the zany adventure of one biologist's obsessive quest to uncover the mysteries of one of the world's most enigmatic birds.
