Murray, Peter (Peter F) | Vickers-Rich, Patricia
"This book is the first major study of this unique and highly diverse group. It introduces a wealth of knowledge about the dromornithids that has accumulated over the past two decades and that has led to an understanding of the relationships of these birds. Peter F. Murray and Patricia Vickers-Rich discuss in detail the history of the work on the dromornithids; the geological and geographical distributions of their remains; and their familial systematics, anatomy, functional morphology, and paleobiology. For the first time since their recognition in the nineteenth century, here is as complete a synthesis as possible of current information about this unique, diverse, and fascinating family of birds."--Jacket.
