The Avifauna of Micronesia, Its Origin, Evolution, and Distribution
Rollin Harold Baker
Scatter thousands of islands across the vast Pacific and watch the birds that reach them change. Rollin Baker surveys the birdlife of Micronesia, from the Marianas outward, weaving climate, vegetation, and geography into the story of how species arrived and evolved. A thorough study of island life and its restless origins. Fly out to the far Pacific with a patient naturalist.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
