Living on the Edge
'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?
Waterbirds Around the World
This book is the outcome of a major international conference on waterbirds held in Edinburgh in April 2004.

Heritage of the Russian Arctic
"This volume presents the original results of an interdisciplinary survey of the natural and cultural heritage of the Russian Arctic. The studies were conducted within the framework of the Russian-Dutch co-operation on nature protection and conservation of historical monuments. Materials included in the volume were presented at the International Willem Barents Memorial Arctic Conservation Symposium held in Moscow, Russia, on 10-14 March 1998. The book is intended for researchers, high-school teachers and students, all other readers ,interested in the exploration and conservation of the natural and cultural heritage of the Russian Arctic"--P.[4].
The Barnacle Goose
The Barnacle Goose, a distinctive, handsome black-and-white bird, gets its name from a mediaeval myth that the birds hatched from barnacles – how else to explain their sudden appearance each autumn in northern Britain? We now know, of course, that the birds migrate from Arctic Russia, Norway and Svalbard to winter throughout northern Europe. This book represents a culmination of more than 25 years of Barnacle Goose research. It represents the story of one of Europe's most celebrated long-term behavioral studies, detailing the lives of these social and sociable birds. Chapters include sections on pair formation and bonding, family and population dynamics, brood parasitism, food and feeding, size and shape in different populations, life cycle, survivorship, dispersal, migration, and conservation, with particular regard to climate change. It is a rigorous and thorough examination of the lives of these birds, in fine Poyser tradition.
