The "Guide to Owls" has
just been published!
(With a short English introduction!)
Owls worldwide: The "Eulenführer" a guide to owls in art, in advertising, in topographical terms, in zoos, and in museums of natural history
In many places all over the world the owl can be found as a symbol, design or advertisement. A great number of institutions such as universities, pharmacies, cafés and restaurants, book stores, safety services, and even the tobacco industry use owl logos in their coat-of-arms or to identify and characterize their products. There are geographical terms like "Civetta", (Italian for "Little Owl" and also the name of a mountain range in the Italian Alps,) or "Uhlenköpfe" (German for "owls' heads" and also the name for hills near Bad Harzburg, Germany), which are evidently derived from the word "owl". This list could easily be continued and enlarged with countless field names, monuments, pieces of art in museums and, of course, sanctuaries and certain zoos, which specialize in all kinds of owls, including rare species.
After having worked for six years on the subject we now proudly
present the Guide to Owls.
