What Our Customers Say...

Description

Colour Plates, With Slipcase

Written by Alexander Wetmore (1886-1978), an American ornithologist and paleontologist. He also penned works such as 'A Systematic Classification for the Birds of the World' and 'Birds of the Republic of Panama', and had several taxa of birds, as well as mammals, amphibians, insects, a bridge and a glacier named after him.

Profusely illustrated throughout with one hundred colour plates by J. D. Goodall.

From the library of Eric Kenneth Prentice Back.  Kenn Back was a British meteorologist with the British Antarctic survey for many years.  He spent eight winters in the Antarctic and is a descendent of Captain George Back. In addition, he served as base commander at Halley, Faraday and Rothera stations.  His library collection was built over decades and highlights his love of polar exploration.
