The falcons of the world by Cade, Tom J. - USED

The swiftest creature on earth, capable of swooping down on its prey at 200 miles an hour, is a member of the falcon family. Falcons include some of the most splendidly adapted predators in the world, and are notable for their near perfection in form and function. These compact, powerfully built birds are the subject of this important book, generously illustrated by 40 full-page four-color painting, 4 double-spread paintings, and 30 maps. Written byo one of the world's leading experts, Tom J. Cade, and illustrated with paintings by R. David Digby, it is a rare combination of the best possible author and the best possible artist.
