A Venezuela natural history reader

The list author says:
	"(Birds first of course) The birders bible. Furthermore, one of the best guides to any New World avifauna and handy in Guyana, Brazil, Trinidad and Colombia too."

The list author says:
	"And where to find them once you get here..."

The list author says:
	"But if you are still curious... A superbly recounted biology of the birds of the American tropics by an acknowledged authority, the author of the Venezuela and Colombia field guides. Excellent!"

The list author says:
	"Never very comprehensive and is getting out of date, but still the only guide in English. If your read Spanish, try to get the excellent Audubon Society Guide (Linares)."

The list author says:
	"A useful guide for Venezuela and handy throughout the Neotropics."

The list author says:
	"Wonderful! A tremendous job. This is the first of several volumes and the only way to identify Venezuelan butterflies at present. Not cheap though!"

The list author says:
	"Excellent! And small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. Sadly out of print at the moment."

The list author says:
	"Not yet published in the UK, but available in the US.  I haven't seen this yet, but it looks set to fill a conspicuous hole in the reference literature on Neotropical nature."

The list author says:
	"A charming book that few people seem to have heard about. It's the only introduction to the insects of the Neotropics. Pricey, but you won't regret it."

The list author says:
	"A superb reference, even for the non-botanist. I use it mostly for the introductory information on geography, landforms and exploration."

The list author says:
	"Indispensable if you are to get anywhere with tree identification."

The list author says:
	"A comprehensive guide to the palms. Well worth the price, especially if you travel regularly to the New World tropics."

The list author says:
	"An excellent overview of Neotropical nature."

The list author says:
	"Fascinating! Even with maps, GPS, satellite phones, GoreTex, DEET and helicopters, it is hard to follow in Humboldt's footsteps."

The list author says:
	"Beebe's story of the Rancho Grande Biological Station (Henri Pittier NP) in the early C20th will be fascinating to visitors."

The list author says:
	"The best general travel guide, by Hilary Branch."

The list author says:
	"Another great travel guide but getting a little out-of-date now."

The list author says:
	"Don't leave home without it! Though keep an eye out for the new maps by Emilio Perez."
