In the Dark of the Night
Vincenzo Penteriani and Maria del Mar Delgado are both researchers working in animal ecology and behaviour. At present, Vincenzo is a permanent researcher at the Estacion Biologica de Donana, a research centre of the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and Maria del Mar is a researcher in the Metapopulation Research Group at the University of Helsinki (Finland). They started their research on eagle owls in the '80s. To date, they have worked on this species in several European countries including Italy, France, Spain and Finland. Their eagle owl research projects are regularly funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, the Excellence Projects of the Junta de Andalusia, the Finnish Academy, as well as several National and Regional Parks in Italy and France. All the photos were taken with professional and semi-professional Nikon cameras and lenses. Picture legend.

Les ailes du Sahel
'Living on the Edge' examines the function of the Sahel region of Africa as an important wintering area for long-distance migrant birds. It describes the challenges the birds have to cope with – climate change, of course, and rapid man-made habitat changes related to deforestation, irrigation and reclamation of wetlands. How have all these changes affected the birds, and have birds adapted to these changes? Can we explain the changing numbers of breeding birds in Europe by changes in the Sahel, or vice versa? Winner of the BB/BTO Best Bird Book Award 2010 The Jury commented: "It is a tremendous book in every department. It marks a step-change in our knowledge of the ecology of this critica...
The Boreal Owl
"The Boreal Owl Ecology, Behaviour and Conservation of a Forest-Dwelling Predator Widespread in North American forest regions including the Rocky Mountains, the boreal owl (Aegolius funereus) was once the most numerous predatory bird in Eurasian boreal forests. Synthesising the results of unique long-term studies of boreal owls, this book explores hunting modes, habitats and foods, prey interactions, mating and parental care, reproduction, dispersal, survival and mortality, population regulation and conservation in boreal forests"--
Wilderness Protection in Polar Regions
Based on a study of wilderness protection in three Arctic countries, Antje Neumann identifies numerous ‘lessons learnt’ which could improve the protection of Antarctica’s wilderness, in particular with regard to the increasing and diversifying tourism in the region.
