I have to say that I disagree with your statement that the book is “primarily about the evolutionary context of birds in the context of theropods”. Of the 16 chapters, three (3) are about putting birds within the context of the theropod radiation, and of those three one is a large scale analysis of Mesozoic bird phylogeny. So, this volume will be of primary interest to people interested in Cenozoic birds alone, not to those more concerned with the Mesozoic side of things. It’s not just about fossils, either: several chapters are on aspects of modern avian anatomy and one of the best chapters is on current trends and what we can extrapolate about the future.

And I’ve wanted it since Gary Kaiser let out a teaser in a comment thread over at Tet Zoo a year ago.

I have been looking for a book on this subject! Is it in e-book or audio format? I’m trying to cut down on my hard bound book collection, but this looks worth having around!
