<p>Dr Janet Kear, Assistant Director of the Wildfowl Trust and Curator of its Martin Mere Reserve, and Professor Andrew Berger of the University of Hawaii, have written a timely and absorbing account of the recent history of the Hawaiian Goose, or Nene, its descent to near extinction, its eleventh hour rescue and current restoration to the wild. The species declined from an estimated population of 25,000 in Hawaii in the 18th century to less than fifty birds in the 1940s. Today, thanks largely to the extended breeding programmes at Slimbridge and Pohakuloa, there are probably more than 2000 Hawaiian Geese in the world.</p>

The first edition of The Peregrine Falcon was widely recognised as a classic of its kind, documenting not only the species' biology but the sad story of its decline due to the impact of pesticides.This extensively revised and enlarged second edition takes full account of important new developments in the story of this bird during the 12 years since the first publication. Many of the tables and figures have been revised and brought up to date so that this volume is by far the most detailed and readable reference on this most evocative of birds. Donald Watson's colour paintings, monochrome washes and line drawings, as well as the original photographs, illustrate the book as before. "This classic 'Poyser' is one of the most important bird monographs ever published: this study is directly linked with the whole of modern environmental awareness. It is a fascinating and very readable book which deserves to be on all birder's bookshelves, and now it has been fully revised and updated from the original 1980 edition. Thoroughly recommended."--Birding World Key Features* The long awaited up-to-date revision of the classic bestseller* First Edition has been out for several years Now a collector's item* Latest information on status and distribution of the species* Updated information on all aspects of the species biology
