Pelicans, Cormorants, and their Relatives
'The reputation of these guides, as being the scientific bedrock for ornithologists, is well deserved...this will no doubt be part of the ornithological landscape for the next generation.' Fatbirder, February 2006

Oxford is justly famous for its nine-volume Handbook of the Birds of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa (better known as the BWP).
Since the first volume of BWP was published in 1977, the ornithology publishing program at Oxford has grown and diversified. In addition to our two fine monograph series, the Oxford Ornithology Series and the Bird Families of the World, we have published several excellent and much-needed field guides.
Reference handbooks also continue to be a priority, and Oxford is proud to publish the Handbook of Australian, New Zealand, and Antarctic Birds (HANZAB). Our titles are written and illustrated by some of the world's best authors and illustrators.
From essential reference books to practical and portable guides, professional and amateur ornithologists, birdwatchers, and natural historians alike will find much to inform, interest, and delight them.
A comprehensive 6 page Ornithology catalogue is available. To request a copy please email
