This book is an uncommonly engaging study on the evolution of sexual selection in birds, as addressed through a particularly well developed research program by a superb ornitholoigst, with good credibility also in the evolutionary biology community. The book also gives an engaging portrait of the challenges and constraints of experimental design facing any field investigator working with animal behaviour. Hill's book should serve as a model for a focused scholarly book with broader potential appeal, and it should sell very well to ornithologists and serious amateurs, and also to evolutionary biologists and behavioural ecologists.
