Ad Tolhuijs is an autodidactic ornithologist. Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, he lived many years off and on in Europe and North and South America before settling down in Switzerland. After an international career as a communications and design consultant, he now dedicates much of his time to what has been his leisure pursuit ever since he was a twelve-year old boy: the world of birds. However, he is not only committed to ornithology, ethology and the visual arts. He also has a keen interest in the complimentary sciences of ethnology and linguistics. Thus it seems fitting that this 11-language handbook not only addresses ornithologists but a wide range of interested people native to, or visiting, the huge multilingual and -cultural Holarctic region that surrounds our earth’s northern hemisphere.
