I started in July and am still enrolled. The book is an excellent resource and highly readable for a textbook. My issue was twofold: the price, which was very high; and the fact that it does not match very well with the online content or quizzes of the course. I would be enjoying the book better without needing it for a course. Then again, had I not registered for the course, I would not have purchased the book... ( ) This book was an accompaniment to the online course offered by Cornell University. The course was challenging enough; the challenge for me was reading a college level textbook after a 30 year gap. I recommend this book, the course, Cornell University Lab of Ornithology , and of course EBird, to anyone that has an interest in birds, climate change, conservation and even to folks that think they don’t care for this subject matter. I've waited for this updated edition for about 5 years. I was beginning to wonder if it would ever be finalized and published. It's an amazing book chock full of brilliant photos, detailed academic information, and is actually a comprehensive course in bird biology. The very latest! It makes me wish I could attend the actual live course at Cornell. Happily there is abundant internet support including an expensive, online, at-home course (maybe someday). From birds evolving from dinosaurs to detailed anatomy, breeding & social behavior, migration, conservation, and so much more this book is a pot of gold for those yearning to understand these astonishing avian creatures... like me! I'll be re-reading and referring to this book for the rest of my life. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
