Priority!
Awarded the John Thackray Medal by the Society for the History of Natural History, Priority! The Dating of Scientific Names in Ornithology is the product of years of research by lead author Edward C. Dickinson. It is recognized as the first book to explain the importance of priority in relation to species names in ornithology and in the context of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature; and was praised as "a truly scholarly work ... and ... a unique and essential source" for museum scientists. New here, an e-PDF edition is made available as a continuing resource for ornithologists, together with the contents of the accompanying CD.
