Reviews
'â€¦ excellent â€¦ very readable â€¦ accessible to the non-specialist â€¦ This is â€¦ a call to arms to consider the likely negative implications of climate change on birds, and therefore, on the environment. Given the urgent need to address greenhouse gas emissions to achieve the 2C target â€¦ this is an important message, and the book should be widely read as a result.' Ibis: The International Journal of Avian Science, " a unique combination of knowledge and skills to the task of synthesizing the expansive collection of avian climate change studies. Together, the authors bring a dynamic and colorful writing style as well as scientific and intellectual rigor to a topic that, at times, could risk being purely academic. Winged Sentinels [should bestow] an important spot on the bookshelves of ornithologists or those who simply care about birds." Morgan W. Tingley, Journal of Field Ornithology, "Generously illustrated with colour photographs, the book is a fascinating insight into what climate change means for birds, and the potential consequences of ignoring these warning signs." The Guardian, 'â€¦ thorough, up-to-date â€¦ well written â€¦ I can recommend this book to those who are concerned about declining global biodiversity.' Scottish Birds, "The authors' methodical, thorough style and the depressing preponderance of bad news for birds, and for the people who study and enjoy them, mean that this book is not an uplifting experience. However, the cataloging of what is and is not known about climate change and birds will make this book a valuable resource for those who would attempt to avert disaster. Highly recommended." J.L. Hunt, Choice magazine, "This book is a thorough up-to-date review of their [birds] responses to climate change. I can recommend it to those who are concerned about global biodiversity and whose interest in 'global warming' extends beyond just the atmosphere." Norman Elkin, Weather, 'Generously illustrated with colour photographs, the book is a fascinating insight into what climate change means for birds, and the potential consequences of ignoring these warning signs.' The Guardian, 'â€¦ excellent â€¦ very readable â€¦ accessible to the non-specialist â€¦ This is â€¦ a call to arms to consider the likely negative implications of climate change on birds, and therefore, on the environment. Given the urgent need to address greenhouse gas emissions to achieve the 2Â°C target â€¦ this is an important message, and the book should be widely read as a result.' Ibis: The International Journal of Avian Science, 'â€¦ there is much to enjoy in Winged Sentinels â€¦ impressive combination of thoroughly researched scientific summaries and colorful, entertaining writing. These two factors, so rarely seen together in academically inspired literature, should bestow [this book] an important spot on the bookshelves of ornithologists or those who simply care about birds.' Journal of Field Ornithology
