Dunning (wildlife ecology, Purdue U., Indiana) has performed an impressive feat, gathering data from a wealth of resources to form this comprehensive reference to the data that exists for 8734 species worldwide. The data in the second edition covers more species than the first, is more geographically diverse, and has drawn on more non-English language journals. Where possible, data is given for breeding birds, with separate means for males and females of sexually dimorphic species, and with notes for geographical variation in size. In addition to the main reference, a chapter is included by Eugene P. Odum on the body masses and composition of migrant birds in the eastern U.S., based on studies he made in the 1960s. The bibliography contains all the sources of data and literature cited. An electronic version of the database is included on the CD-ROM. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
