|  | Science in Early Islamic Cultures by George W. Beshore
As early Muslims conquered parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe, they collected and preserved the writings of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. They studied the information recorded by these cultures and used it as a basis for making scientific discoveries of their own. The methods the Muslims developed for exploring and understanding the natural world are still used by scientists today. AUTHOR: George W. Beshore

 | The Raptors of Europe & the Middle East by Dick Forsman
This book presents the most complete and up-to-date guide for the recognition of the diurnal raptors of Europe and the Middle East. It is written by an acknowledged expert, the author of many definitive identification articles and veteran of countless tours and expeditions. More than 700 high quality color photographs have been specifically chosen to demonstrate the plumage of each age and sex class of every species found in Europe and the Middle East. The photographs are complemented by almost 100 line drawings focusing on particular identification details, and are backed up by a detailed text enabling birdwatchers to recognize even the most difficult species. The latest information, much of it previously unpublished, describes the plumage and soft part coloration of each category of bird, and compares and contrasts with similar plumages of species which may cause confusion. The book discusses the difficulties caused by stage of moult, variation in light conditions, and changes in silhouette arising from different flight types. Fully referenced with a list of nearly 300 key papers and articles, this book is an essential reference to the field identification of every species, age, and sex class of raptors.
