Sinopsis :
The book covers thousands of bird species, offering clear explanations of the roots and translations of their scientific names. It also provides background on why certain names were chosen, often based on the bird's characteristics, behavior, or the person who discovered or classified them. Designed for ornithologists, bird watchers, and those with a keen interest in scientific naming conventions, this dictionary serves as a valuable tool for decoding and appreciating the rich linguistic and historical context behind bird taxonomy. It bridges the gap between scientific study and the curiosity of those eager to explore the stories behind the names of the world’s birds.
