BAC28149 Purcell, Rosamond et al. 183 colour illustrations Egg and nest. Harvard University Press, Cambridge MA: 2008. Quarto, dustwrapper, 224 pp., colour photographs. BRAND NEW. Purcell's photographs capture the intricacy of nests and the aesthetic perfection of bird eggs. Mining the ornithological treasures of the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology, Purcell produces pictures as lovely and various as the artifacts she photographs. Alongside Purell's photographs, Linnea Hall and Rene Corado offer an engaging history of egg collecting, the provenance of the specimens in the photographs, and the biology, conservation, and ecology of the birds that produced them.
