Illustrated by the award-winning artist, Darren Rees. Over one hundred birds of the Western Palearctic bear English or Latin names that commemorate people, but few people know who these people were, and why their names became attached to the various species. This fascinating book portrays ninety-one people from Aristotle to Charles Cory to Pehr Gustaf Tengmalm, together with their life history, achievements and the species named after them. Every species is illustrated with a line drawing by Darren Rees. A marvellous blend of vivid, ironical description and much fascinating information. [9780124874220]

ISBN10: 0124874223, ISBN13: 9780124874220, [publisher: The Academic Press. London. 1988.] Hardcover First Edition (Hardcover, 1988 ). 1988 1st edition. 4to. Ppxx,490. B/w photographs & ills, b/w ills by Darren Rees, bibliography, foreword by Sir Peter Scott. Grey boards. Very good in slightly used dust-wrapper. "Over one hundred species of European and north African birds bear English of Latin names which commemorate people. But who were Steller, Bonaparte, Cetti, Sabine, Eleonora and the rest and how did their names become attached to the various species? Barbara and Richard Mearns have long been fascinated by just this question. Their researches into the lives of the people involved have taken them on the voyages and travels of the early naturalist-explorers, as well as into some intriguing and diverting historical backwaters. Almost all of the nienty-one people described are illustrated in contemporary portraits and every one of the species named isbeautifully drawn by Darren Rees." Fascinating and interesting, and an important contribution to the history of exploration, natural history, and zoological collecting. .
