Description
A Monumental Achievement in Raptor Research
Unlike all other monographs on the Golden Eagle, each of which had a regional
focus on the study area of the author, this book represents the most
wide-ranging compilation of Golden Eagle research ever. This groundbreaking
928-page volume brings together contributions from over 175 authors reporting
on more than 2000 combined field seasons, representing every biome where the
species is found.
The Largest Work on Any Eagle Ever Produced
This book marks one of the greatest attempts to describe the biology of any
circumpolar species. With over 1,500 illustrations—many never previously
published—from more than 200 photographers and 12 artists, this work represents
a truly global achievement in ornithological scholarship. This
comprehensive monograph eliminates the regional limitations of previous Golden
Eagle studies by presenting a worldwide perspective. From the mountains of
North America to the steppes of Asia, from European highlands to northern
Africa, this book covers the Golden Eagle across its entire Holarctic range.
Whether you're a professional biologist, wildlife researcher, falconer, or
passionate bird enthusiast, this volume merits a place in your library. The
combination of rigorous scientific research, stunning visual documentation, and
comprehensive global coverage makes this an indispensable reference for anyone
interested in raptors and apex predators.
