Priority! The Dating of Scientific Names in Ornithology: a directory to the literature and its reviewers

This is never going to be a book to sit down and read, and will have a limited appeal. However, if you are involved with writing ornithological literature you will find it invaluable. It is the first book to explain the importance of priority in relation to names in ornithology and in the context of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.

The book contains 253 pages of in-depth details of any publications in the last 250 years where dating could be an issue. There are also 65 pages of references and a CD which has over 160 pages of Excel tables which are a searchable treasure trove.
