Extinct Birds - Tapa dura

Acerca del autor

After becoming established as a self-taught artist specialising in reconstructing extinct species, Julian P. Hume undertook a PhD in palaeontology at the Natural History Museum, London, studying extinct island birds. Julian now works as an author, artist and palaeontologist at the Natural History Museum in Tring and has a long record of describing species new to science. An expert on the extinct birds of the Indian Ocean, he has dug for Dodos on Mauritius, searched for flightless pigeons on the Comoros, and undertaken many other research expeditions around the world. More recently he has worked on a number of remote Pacific and Atlantic Ocean islands and made remarkable discoveries about the birds that once existed there.
