The birds of Jamaica
Philip Henry Gosse and Richard Hill
On a green Caribbean island, Philip Gosse walked out each morning to meet a birdlife found nowhere else. He works through Jamaica's hawks, owls, hummingbirds, and nightjars with a naturalist's rigor and a writer's delight. A landmark of tropical ornithology, full of firsthand island encounters. Explore Jamaica's woods and wetlands through a master observer's eyes.
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.
