'Owls worldwide: The "Eulenführer"' - Book by Egbert Blak, Ursula Hansen & Rudolf Schaaf

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.

Six years in the making, this book has 200 pages of Owl references with numerous illustrations, including:

• about 3000 "attractions" such as monuments, buildings, universities, schools, restaurants etc. using owl logos
• field names, important bird sanctuaries and zoos as well as museums of natural history and biology.
• a collection of data from Egypt, Azerbaijan, Australia, Belgium, The People's Republic of China, Germany, UK, Guatemala, Japan, Latvia, Marocco, Mexico, Namibia, New Zealand, Norway, the United States of America, Vatican City - just to mention some of the 80 countries you will find listed in the Guide to Owls.
• additional articles on individual "owl attractions" in Germany, Italy, UK and the Netherlands.
