H.J. Ruiz – Avian101

Hello,

Writing with two tidbits of good news from our birding list (admittedly these two are an oddball pairing, but what can you do 🙂

First, our Trogons book by Joseph Forshaw and illustrated by Albert Gilbert has received a duo of awards: http://press.princeton.edu/blog/2010/06/04/joseph-m-forshaw-and-albert-earl-gilbert-honored-twice-at-the-2010-international-book-awards/. This book was published in a limited print run (made even smaller by an unfortunate shipping accident), but there are still a few copies available. This is a book that would be a handsome addition to any connoisseur’s library.

Second, All About Birds: A short illustrated history of ornithology by Valerie Chansigaud is reviewed over at Birder’s Library. Read more here: http://press.princeton.edu/blog/2010/06/04/all-about-birds-reviewed-at-birders-library/

Thank you,
