Synopsis "Handbook of the Birds of the World. Volume 9: Cotingas to Pipits and Wagtails"

Más de la mitad del volumen está dedicado a las especies de Norteamérica y el Neotrópico, incluida la familia de los mosqueros tiranos, que con 429 especies es la más numerosa de la enciclopedia. Pero el libro será de interés para ornitólogos de todo el mundo, ya que abarca desde especies localizadas y amenazadas, como el ruiseñor de Australia y la alondra de Liben de Etiopía, hasta otras de distribución más amplia, como la alondra euroasiática, y otras aves muy conocidas, como la cosmopolita golondrina común.
El prólogo es de Richard C. Banks, que traza la historia y analiza la aplicación de la nomenclatura ornitológica.

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.
