A quick heads up that the OceanWanderers Book Shelf blog carries a brief review of Michael Brooke's wonderful addition to the Bird Families of the World series from Oxford University Press. This is a remarkably useful overview of all 126 extant species of tubenoses with great information on range, taxonomic affinities and names. There are 16 color plates by John Cox. My only gripe about the book is the shocking list price but you can probably find discounted or used copies for less.
Recommended reading or all seabird fanatics!
