Hill (biological sciences, Auburn U.) has been studying house finches for 15 years, which even he admits would be a little excessive did he not keep finding new and exciting information. Here he looks at the function and evolution of their colorful plumage, in an account he intends to be accessible to serious amateurs as well as professional ornithologists, behavioral ecologists, and evolutionary biologists. The illustrations are monochrome. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
