Synopsis "Handbook of the Birds of the World. Volume 4: Sandgrouse to Cuckoos"

El volumen describe 6 familias, menos que otros volúmenes, pero contiene el mayor número de especies (834 especies), ya que algunas de las familias son muy numerosas: palomas y tórtolas (309 especies), loros (322 especies) y cucos (136 especies). Estas familias son de interés para cualquier ornitólogo, ya que están presentes en todos los continentes. Además, encontramos la ganga ortega, originaria de los terrenos áridos de África, el sur de Europa y el suroeste de Asia, las cacatúas, parientes de los loros, presentes en el sudeste asiático y Australia, y los turacos, habitantes del África subsahariana. Las láminas y fotografías de este volumen muestran algunas de las aves más variadas y coloridas del mundo.
Prólogo sobre los conceptos de especie y los límites de las especies en ornitología, por Jürgen H. Haffer.

Josep del Hoyo i Calduch (Barcelona, June 22, 1954) is a Spanish doctor, ornithologist, and publisher known for his contribution to the global dissemination of ornithology. After graduating in medicine from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 1977, he worked as a rural doctor and participated in television outreach programs. His passion for birds led him to found Lynx Edicions in 1989, dedicated to publishing works on nature.

Among his most notable works is "Handbook of the Birds of the World" (1992-2013), a 17-volume encyclopedia that describes and illustrates all bird species in the world. He has also co-edited "Handbook of the Mammals of the World" (2009-2019), focusing on mammals. For his work in spreading knowledge about biodiversity, he has received awards such as the BBVA Foundation Award for Biodiversity Conservation in 2010.
