The questions of how these birds fit into modern food chains, how they are threatened, how they can be saved are examined and dealt with in expert detail. The accompanying CDROM features an edited, easier to take in version of all the book's detail. The text is bilingual - HR & ENG. The original exhibition installation is now on show at the Eko-center Caput Insulae Beli, in Beli on the island of Cres.
