Greg,
Chiappe's (2007) treatment of the early evolution of birds supersedes
Chatterjee (1997) and Feduccia (1999). This is because Chiappe discusses the
significance of the discovery of the Microraptor gui fossil in China in 2003
and how it changed scientists' ideas about the origin and early evolution of
birds. I don't know if similar books have been published since then.

Greg,
I have a book by 'The age of birds' by Feduccia. Is that possibly it or
maybe an earlier version. I published my review of it in Canberra Bird
Notes 13: 126-127. CBN are, I believe, all available as a scanned
version, maybe on the COG website.

Gooday birders
Can someone please recommend and or comment on a book or two on the
evolution of birds. Three that I have seen on the net that seem
promising are by Feduccia (1999), Chiappe (2007) or Chatterjee (1997).
Fathers day presents.
