It begins with a Foreword by Walter J. Bock on the taxonomic aspects of HBW; this is followed by an introduction explaining the organization of the information and what is new with respect to the previous volume. The book covers the orders Falconiformes (5 families) and Galliformes (7 families), and will be of special interest to those with a passion for raptors (Osprey, hawks, eagles, falcons, caracaras), but also to any lover of birds, as it includes other families from the Americas (New World vultures, chachalacas, guans & curassows , turkeys, New World quails), from Africa (Secretarybird, guineafowl), from Australasia (megapodes), and families with more extensive distributions (grouse, pheasants & partridges).
