I am pleased to announce that all 10 titles in the 2018 editions of the ‘All the World’s Birds’ series of Companion Guides are now complete and available to be downloaded to Kindle reading devices.

In addition to the five titles announced in December 2017 – ALL THE WORLD’S NON-PASSERINES – the following eBooks are now available:

WORLD REGION guides:
All the World’s Birds 2018: A Companion Guide  OCEANS
All the World’s Birds 2018: A Companion Guide  WESTERN PALEARCTIC
All the World’s Birds 2018: A Companion Guide  SOUTH AMERICA/MIDDLE AMERICA

FOCUS ON guides:

VOLUME 1: NON-PASSERINES
All the World’s Birds 2018: A Companion Guide  Focus on INDIAN SUBCONTINENT
VOLUME 2: PASSERINES

Each guide deals with the birds to be found in a particular WORLD REGION or sub-region, and has a number of important features, including:
– A complete taxonomic listing of bird species
– An indication of where in the region each bird family and species can be found in its native state
– Spotlighted species that have a restricted regional or worldwide range

However, perhaps the key feature of all eBooks in the Companion Guide series is the way you can quickly and simply access relevant, up to date online information about every featured bird species. If your reading device is connected to the internet, a single click will take you to a search results page for a species, from where you can continue to search for additional information to whatever level of detail you desire.

The ‘All the World’s Birds’ series of Companion Guides derives its taxonomy, English names and scientific names from The IOC World Bird List, an open access resource maintained by the International Ornithological Congress (IOC). The IOC bird list is hosted on a dedicated World Bird Names website, which provides access to the list in various different formats. The version of the IOC bird list used in the ‘All the World’s Birds 2018’ series of Companion Guides is Version 7.3, published July 31 2017.
