    Helm Identification Guides - What Next ?

    I knew any member on BF will comment on that particular title and i added that on purpose ! Just because it is a small bird family with just four species and few subspecies, it does not mean that it is not worthy enough to be treated in its own monograph. Off-course there any many many other...

    Helm Identification Guides - What Next ?

    Here are forthcoming titles in Bird Families by Helm plus titles that badly need major updates and finally titles that are worth for consideration in near future : Also, given the current slow pace at which these titles are being published, Bloomsbury Publishing will take forever to publish...

    Leaf warblers

    Wish it would be much more comprehensive than Sylvia Warblers (2001), which is in itself a classic that needs an update. And when Sunbirds 2nd edition is coming ? Eagerly waiting for that.

    Lynx Edicions - What Next ?

    Yes. There are some publishers but again no one can beat Lynx in terms of quality and comprehensiveness. Well, that is totally different topic. These animals are with us from hundreds of thousands of years and are useful to humans. Yes, some breeds have health issues and look odd but again...

    Lynx Edicions - What Next ?

    Well, there are many people out there who are interested in such a work(s). Just because we are lovers of wild animals, it does not mean that people are not interested in domestic animals and their varieties, types, breeds or mutations etc.

    Lynx Edicions - What Next ?

    Wish Lynx would come up with All the Domesticated Mammals of the World or / and All the Domesticated Animals of the World so that we can have a solid reference of what humans have "created" in the last 5,000 years ! P.S. Just got to know that earliest dates suggested for the domestication of...

    How about a handbook for reptiles and amphibians of the world?

    Don't know who will agree with me, but electronic books feel less permanent (although there is no doubt about their practicality sometimes). But a feel of a "real" book is something on another level. And high-quality fine works like HBW, HMW and upcoming projects in electronic form is a BIG NO...

    Nectariniidae

    Wow !!! That is some serious dive into Knowing more about these beautiful birds. Black Sunbird has already 23 subspecies and I am sure many are full species. Also, I am not an expert on birds and these level of studies. Can any member / ornithologist here at BirdForum can tell me in Simplist...

    Lynx Edicions - What Next ?

    It all depends on Lynx Eds and how they manage to achieve their goal of not letting their quality (which remained excellent throughout the major 2 series they did on HBW and HMW) go down. Actually, if you have a clear vision of your company for its next 20-25 years, then I think there are still...

    Lynx Edicions - What Next ?

    Most of time philanthropists donate to Non-Profits. Lynx Edicions is For-Profit business and have been very successful until the covid arrived. Their all-time successful is "All the Birds of the World" of which thousands and thousands of copies are sold so far. They have to re-print it several...

    Lynx Edicions - What Next ?

    Yeah. That is quite sad, as there is no shortage of money and mega-wealthy investors in the world.

    Lynx Edicions - What Next ?

    Yes. Read that. Lets see what future brings. Yes, if I am not wrong, these Guides largely use illustrations from HBW series excluding few exceptions. Definitely these are cheaper to produce as compared to starting a completely new series like Handbook of the Amphibians of the World for which...

    Helm Identification Guides - What Next ?

    Thats a real shame. Bloomsbury Publishing plc is a big company and i dont think they have any shortage of funds that they are unable to fund a monograph on one of the most popular bird family in the world ! In terms of sincerity towards the Natural History of our planet, i think no one can beat...

    Helm Identification Guides - What Next ?

    Why not ? A highly-detailed monograph on Largest family of birds on the planet is no doubt a big challenge but in the end countless rewards !
