Colophon

The animal on the cover of JUNOS Enterprise Switching is a gorgeted bird of paradise (Astrapia nigra), also known as an Arfak Astrapia. The male of this species is black with iridescent purple, green, and gold plumage, whereas the female is predominantly brown. One of the larger birds of paradise, it measures 30 inches with a long, broad tail. It is native to Indonesia and resides in the Arfak Mountains in West Papua, where it subsists on a diet of tropical fruits. Protected by many laws as well as by its geographical isolation, the Arfak Astrapia is not considered a threatened species.

All birds of paradise are members of the family Paradisaeidae, and are found only in tropical forests in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and parts of Australia. They are famous for their bright plumage and long, elaborate feathers. Perhaps the best-known species is the greater bird of paradise, Paradisaea apoda. Native traders in the 18th century sold these birds for decoration, usually removing their wings and feet, which led to the mistaken belief in Europe that the birds were limbless and held permanently aloft by their plumes. This is why Linnaeus named the species apoda, "without feet."

The hunting of birds of paradise has occurred for thousands of years, and was heaviest in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the plumes were used in the millinery trade. Although these birds are now protected, some hunting is still permitted to the tribal societies of New Guinea, many of which use the plumes ceremonially.

The cover image is from Cassell's Natural History. The cover font is Adobe ITC Garamond. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSansMonoCondensed.
