Books with author Chapman Frank M. (Frank Michler)

About the Book Birds are also known as Aves, and are a group of endothermic vertebrates, whose major features are feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, and a strong but lightweight skeleton. Birds range from the 5 cm (2 in) bee hummingbird to the 2.75 m (9 ft) ostrich of Africa. Birds are the world’s most numerically-successful class of tetrapods, with ten thousand extant species. More than half of the bird species are passerines, which are often termed perching birds. Birdwatching, or birding, is the observation of birds as a recreational activity or amateur science activity. Traditionally done by direct eyesight, binoculars and telescopes allow visual enhancement, and listening for bird sounds provides auditory pleasure.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
