John Gould gave the world its first great picture of Australia's astonishing birds. This opening volume soars through the birds of prey, the eagles and falcons and the fish-hunting osprey, each described with the care that made Gould immortal among ornithologists. A cornerstone of Australian natural history. Begin a seven-volume journey through a continent of unfamiliar wings.

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.
