Synopsis "Handbook of the Birds of the World. Volume 6: Mousebirds to Hornbills"

Las fotografías e ilustraciones hacen plena justicia a las aves extremadamente fotogénicas que se tratan en el volumen, como el Quetzal, la Abubilla y el Cálao Rinoceronte. Hay secuencias de fotografías de martines pescadores cazando bajo el agua, e imágenes del cálao de tierra meridional cazando.
Prólogo sobre bioacústica aviar por Luis Baptista y Don Kroodsma
Están cubiertas 12 familias. Viajamos a las Antillas para encontrarnos con los diminutos y encantadores todies, al reino Neotropical con los elegantes motmots, a Madagascar con los amenazados rodadores terrestres y los singulares rodadores cuco, al África subsahariana con sus gregarios ratoneros y woodhoopoes, al Viejo Mundo con su gran variedad de abejarucos, rodadores y cálaos, y a todos los continentes con los coloridos trogones y martines pescadores.

Josep del Hoyo i Calduch (Barcelona, June 22, 1954) is a Spanish doctor, ornithologist, and publisher known for his contribution to the global dissemination of ornithology. After graduating in medicine from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 1977, he worked as a rural doctor and participated in television outreach programs. His passion for birds led him to found Lynx Edicions in 1989, dedicated to publishing works on nature.

Among his most notable works is "Handbook of the Birds of the World" (1992-2013), a 17-volume encyclopedia that describes and illustrates all bird species in the world. He has also co-edited "Handbook of the Mammals of the World" (2009-2019), focusing on mammals. For his work in spreading knowledge about biodiversity, he has received awards such as the BBVA Foundation Award for Biodiversity Conservation in 2010.
