Annotation:Ab 2020 unter dem Namen: Birds of the World, zuvor: Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive (HBW Alive). HBW Alive has been created by Lynx Edicions, a publishing house founded in Barcelona, Spain, in 1989, and committed to providing high quality ornithology and natural history books. Foremost among these is the Handbook of the Birds of the World, a 17-volume encyclopaedia that describes and illustrates for the first time every species of bird in the world, and serves as the foundation for HBW Alive. All volumes of the Handbook of the Birds of the World are available in print. HBW Alive also incorporates the contents of the HBW and BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, including important taxonomic changes and global innovations. Volume 1: Non-passerines was published in August 2014 and incorporated into HBW Alive and Volume 2: Passerines is due in 2016 and will be incorporated thereafter.
