Owls OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE

Karel H Voous Illustrated by Ad Cameron

Owls are animals that have fascinated man since early times;their facial appearance and mainly nocturnal habitats resulted in them becoming creatures associated with wisdom and witchcraft.This fascination continues today in the scientific interest shown in this order of birds.

mapProfessor Voous has been at the forefront of this study and this book brings together for the first time the information that he has accumulated in the years of research,the scale of this research being reflected in the extensive bibliography.Each of the 47 species is dealt with seperately and the bird is described in detail in relation to its geographic origin and range,its environment,its prey,its predators,its competitors and to man.In treating each species in this way,Professor Voous places each species in its geographical and biological context and provides the most comprehensive description of these birds and their habits.

Each bird is beautifully illustrated with colour plates and black and white drawings,all exquisitely executed by Ad Cameron,the World renowned bird illustrator.
