BAC21224 Maclean, Gordon Lindsay. Ecophysiology of Desert Birds. Springer Verlag, Berlin: 1996. Octavo, laminated boards, 181 pp., photographs, text illustrations, signed by the author. "My own involvement with deserts began in the late 1950s when I worked on a diamond mine in the Namib Desert, but it was not until 1964 that I was able to pursue serious research on arid-zone birds, this time in the Kalahari. Since then I have also had the privilege of observing birds in the deserts of North and South America and of Australia. Several general reviews of arid-zone ornithology have already appeared . . . Adaptations of Desert Organisms series. The present work is an attempt to draw the information from these works and from the scattered journal literature into a coherent whole, from which the reader may gain both a global and a detailed picture of the ways in which birds are adapted to the arid environment."
