The Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds

The Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds (or HANZAB, for short) is one of the world's major ornithological projects.

This is the sixth of a seven-volume encyclopedia which, when complete, will provide a comprehensive summary of the biology together with detailed illustrations of all 952 species of birds which occur in Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica.

Thus the work covers a significant proportion of the Earth's surface and will describe in unsurpassed detail some 10% of all known bird species.
