Product Description
Review
"The 800+ illustrations by Karen Phillipps, presented in 99 color plates, are nicely done and an essential compliment to the text. . . . a major contribution to bird study . . . and an essential reference for ornithologists and birders visiting or residing in those islands. Most highly recommended." --Wildlife Activist
"The most complete and comprehensive field guide for the region of the Greater Sundra islands is more than just a field guide. The heart of the book is a section of 88 very good color plates. No doubt, this top field guide will be wanted by any birder going to the Greater Sundra islands, as well as by many ornithologists as a general reference. I encourage everyone to have a copy." --Josef Kren, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, in Zpravy Mos
"Will make birding the region a pleasure. The authors have made the extra effort to produce a guide book that has virtually every type of information that a visiting birder might desire. Each species account is compact but informative. The various regional maps are excellent. . . . the only field guide available for the region. This book, I believe, will supersede all that is in print, and will be a must for birders and naturalists visiting one or more of the islands." --Audubon Naturalist News
"This landmark book deserves a place in the libraries of both birders and ornithologists. ...It adequately fills a previously unoccupied niche in avian literature. Even those who have no plans to visit the Greater Sundas will profit from perusing its pages for what they reveal about avian bigeography." -- The Auk
"No doubt, this top field guide will be wanted by any birder going to the Greater Sunda islands as well as bymany ornithologists as a general reference. I encourage everyone to have a copy."--Josef Kren
Product Description

Information is provided on where to look for endemic and insular forms and on major birding localities. Introductory chapters discuss habitats, climate, land-use, and conservation. This volume is intended for reference and for pleasure, for amateur and professional ornithologists, for birdwatchers and for tourists to Indonesia and region.
