Greetings all,
Another piece of downsizing my book collection:
I have a copy of Sibley and Alquist's "Distribution and Taxonomy of the Birds of the World" available to anyone willing to claim it. This is the authors' summary of their (then) ground-breaking work in using DNA-DNA hybridization to ascertain the relationships between bird species and larger taxonomic groups. This came out way back in 1990, and many of the proposed changes were adopted and then dropped as our understanding of avian taxonomy continued to evolve (pun intended).
Still an important milestone for anyone collecting books out there!
