Essential for serious birders
9. März 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Several years ago I had an epiphany as a bird lover, and stopped keeping my Life List. For several years before that I was an avid bird lister. Clements was always at hand, at home or on the trail or on trips. I still read that well used copy from time to time, filled with my notes and filled with memories.
Jim Clement's checklist was first published in 1972. The 6th edition was published in 2007, and includes new updates through the end of 2005, listing over 9800 species in all. The checklist is clearly organized and easy to use. Chapters are by species, with the entries arranged alphabetically by common name. Each bird's entry includes its common name, Latin name or names, habitat range, a box to check, and a line to make notes of where and when the bird was spotted.
Two indexes are provided, one of scientific names and one of common English names. There are also a list of extinct species, appendices and maps listing the distribution of bird species and endemics, major family references, and a very comprehensive bibliography.
The checklist is continually updated by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. The updates are posted to the Lab's website on a somewhat erratic basis and will eventually be incorporated into the next edition of The Clements Checklist. Amazon doesn't permit a direct link to the update website; to surf there, Google on "cornell lab ornithology clements" to get to the update page. You will also find links to software to help you move your list from the 5th edition.
Unless you are a serious birder, it is hard to understand how important this book is and how hard it is to maintain and update. Check out the Preface here on Amazon to get an idea of the difficulties.
And, if you have any interest in birds, consider becoming a member of the Lab. My sales pitch appears in the first Comment.

A big list, not much more
3. Juli 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Clements is the bible of bird taxonomy, but this book is basically just a list of every species with sublists of each subspecies, and very basic information as to where that subspecies is located. I was disappointed that there is no summary of changes from this 6th edition from the prior edition, although I assume this information will eventually be available on-line somewhere. This is a book that lots of very serious birders know they want, and they should get it. But if you don't know exactly what this book is already and know that you want it, you probably don't.

fabulous book with small faults
30. September 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I will divide in what I find good and not so good of this book .
Good:
the size ,with 28,5 & 22 cm it's a lot bigger than the Howard + Moore and Sibley + Monroe books , which leaves a lot of space to make your notes inside the book ,like I do ,
very good binding and of course the complete listing of all the bird species and subspecies .
Not so good :
the splitting into species goes in my opinion a little to far ,especially by the Australian species .
Bad :
some species of the checklist are also listed as subspecies by species from which they were split ,with a little proofreading this could have been avoided .
For the price amazon is asking ,this book is a must if you want a checklist of the birds of the world .
