Quarto,seven volumes (in nine), 9,000 pp.,colour plates, text illustrations, maps, fine set in dustwrappers. The Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds (or HANZAB for short), is a unique publication: which provides a comprehensive summary of the biology, together with detailed illustrations, of all 952 species of birds which occur in Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica. The Handbook covers a significant proportion of the Earth's surface and will describe in unsurpassed detail some 10% of all known bird species. HANZAB is arguably the most important scientific natural history publication ever produced in Australia, as it synthesises our knowledge of the abundance, habitat, behaviour and morphology of all the bird species of our region. As such, it is the most comprehensive and reliable source of information currently available for anyone working towards the conservation of our native birds and their habitats. Birds are vitally important to conservation because they provide a reliable way of monitoring the quality of our environment: they play a crucial role as indicators of biodiversity and can reveal, by their presence or absence, and abundance, the health of the environment. HANZAB thus provides information that is essential for planning future research and developing effective conservation strategies for our environment.
