The fourth and final bird volume takes to the water with Brehm as guide. Here are the swimmers, the sea-fliers, the deep-diving divers, and the long-legged stilt-walkers of shore and marsh, each drawn with color and character. A fitting close to a much-loved series. For the reader completing Brehm's grand, richly illustrated tour of the birds of the world.

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.
