Lives of North American Birds
Kaufman
 This unique book is a by-product of the CD-ROM Peterson Multimedia Guides: North American Birds. In producing this CD-ROM, the compilers discovered that there was no book that gave the life histories of birds in general. To remedy this, Kaufman expanded the descriptions of birds' lives that he developed for the Multimedia Guides to produce this beautifully organized book for the layperson.
