All About Birds: A Short Illustrated History of Ornithology Hardcover – Illustrated, 21 February 2010

This book is definitely well-illustrated, with both color and black-and-white illustrations, along with portraits of famous ornithologists. The main text itself is 210 pages long. What follows the text is a rather fascinating illustratied timeline of ornithology covering the Middle Ages, the Remaissance, and the 17th, 18thy, 19th, and 20th centuries. The book was written in 2010, so its information is current. I found it a good read and recommend it.
