ForthcomingPenguinsThe Ultimate GuideTui De Roy, Mark Jones & Julie Cornthwaite

Penguins are perhaps the most beloved birds. On land, their behavior ap-pears so humorous and expressive that we can be excused for attributing to them moods and foibles similar to our own. Few realize ho w complex and mysterious their private lives truly are, as most of their existence takes place far from our prying eyes, hidden beneath the ocean waves. This stunningly illustrated book provides a unique look at these extraor-dinary creatures and the cutting-edge science that is helping us to better understand them. Featuring more than 400 breathtaking photos, this is the ultimate guide to all 18 species of penguins, including those with retiring personalities or nocturnal habits that tend to be overlooked and rarely photographed.

A book that no bird enthusiast or armchair naturalist should do without, Penguins includes discussions of penguin conservation, informative species pro les, fascinating penguin facts, and tips on where to see penguins in the wild.July 2014. 240 pages. 400+ color photos. 9 x 12.Cl: 978-0-691-16299-7 $35.00For sale only in North America

ForthcomingThe Passenger PigeonErrol Fuller

At the start of the nineteenth century, Passenger Pigeons were perhaps the most abundant birds on the planet numbering literally in the billions. The fl ocks were so large and so dense that they blackened the skies, even blotting out the sun for days at a stretch. Yet by the end of the century, the most common bird in North America had vanished from the wild. In 1914, the last known representative of her species, Martha, died in a cage at the Cincinnati Zoo.

This stunningly illustrated book tells the astonishing story of North Americas Passenger Pigeon, a bird species thatlike the Tyrannosaur, the Mammoth, and the Dodohas become one of the great icons of extinction. Errol Fuller describes how these fast, agile, and handsomely plumed birds were immortalized by the ornithologist and painter John James Audubon, and captured the imagination of writers such as James Fenimore Cooper, Henry David Thoreau, and Mark Twain. He shows how widespread deforestation, the demand for cheap and plentiful pigeon meat, and the indiscriminate killing of Passenger Pigeons for sport led to their catastrophic decline. Fuller provides an evocative memorial to a bird species that was once so important to the ecology of North America, and reminds us of just how fragile the natural world can be.

NewLost AnimalsExtinction and the Photographic RecordErrol Fuller

A photograph of an extinct animal evokes a greater feeling of loss than any painting ever could. Often black and white or tinted sepia, these remarkable images have been taken mainly in zoos or wildlife parks, and in some cases depict the last known individual of the species. Lost Animals is a unique photographic record of extinction, presented by a world authority on vanished animals. Richly illustrated throughout, this handsome book features photographs dating from around 1870 to as recently as 2004, the year that witnessed the demise of the Hawaiian Poouli. From a mother Thylacine and her pups to birds such as the Heath Hen and the Carolina Parakeet, Errol Fuller tells the story of each animal, explains why it became extinct, and discusses the circumstances sur-rounding the photography.

Poignant and compelling, Lost Animals also includes a concise introduc-tion that looks at the earliest days of animal photography, and an appendix of drawings and paintings of the species covered.2014. 240 pages. 53 color illus. 95 halftones. 8 x 10.Cl: 978-0-691-16137-2 $29.95For sale only in North America and the Philippine

Princeton University Press is

famous for its comprehensive

eld guides, but they also o er

the Princeton Illustrated Check-

lists, which are small enough to

stu into your glove compart-

ment, carry-on luggage, the

inside pocket of a windbreaker

or the back pocket of jeans.

Quite capable of substituting

for a eld guide in a pinch, but

also facilitating the checking

o of various bird species seen

or heard, each edition contains

professionally rendered plates

illustrating all of the species in

the geographic area covered by

the book, enough textual high-

lights to help identify a given

bird, and useful range maps.

For 150 million years, the skies didnt belong to birdsthey belonged to the pterosaurs. These fl ying reptiles, which include the pterodactyls, shared the world with the nonavian dinosaurs until their extinction 65 million years ago.
