Hardcover. Zustand: New. This is the first book to explain the importance of priority in relation to names in ornithology and in the context of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Backgrounds are first provided on the Code and on printing and publishing over the last 250 years. The compilers then bring together re…ports on 148 books and 121 periodicals in zoology which, between them, present almost all the challenges that can make date determination problematic. The reports provide links to the published authorities and are supported by tables containing extensive detail about the subsidiary parts or issues with their pagination and dates. This book and the included CD Rom are a searchable treasure trove. <P>Compiled by Edward C. Dickinson, Leslie K. Overstreet, Robert J. Dowsett and Murray D. Bruce with the help of over 50 contributors and many others. The CD ROM holds over 160 pp of printable tables. <P>"<I>Scientific names are used by biologists all over the world as their 'common language'. These names are vital to communicate clearly and efficiently about the amazing life around us. This book is the result of countless hours of detective work into the dating of publications establishing new scientific names of birds. This task is essential to ascertain the priority of names and hence the correct scientific name to be used as valid today. Although this book focuses on bird literature, the considerable body of historical information given on natural history books and periodicals will be of great interest to all biologists.</I>" -Patrice Bouchard, Coleopterist, Canadian National Collection of Insects, Ottawa, Canada. <P>"<I>'Priority!' is a solid testament to the hard labors of its authors in researching the dates of natural history publications in order to resolve difficult issues of priority among bird names. Five years of rigorous bibliographic detective work has resulted in an indispensable reference work for all zoologists</I>." -Neal L. Evenhuis, Entomologist, Bishop Museum, Honolulu, U.S.A.

Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. I hand inspect every item. --- Edited by Edward C. Dickinson and p…ublished by Aves in 2011, Priority! addresses the problem of establishing publication dates for scientific names in ornithology under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The volume opens with background on the Code itself and on the history of printing and publishing across the past two and a half centuries, framing why date determination has become a technical discipline in its own right. The core of the book gathers reports on 148 books and 121 periodicals in zoology, selected because they encompass most of the difficulties that arise when fixing dates of issue. Each report links to published authorities on the work in question and is accompanied by tables detailing subsidiary parts, issues, and supplements. The result is a reference directory to the primary literature and to the scholarship that has already examined it, aimed at questions of nomenclatural priority.
