Product Description

Product Description

This biography of Edward the Confessor, first published in 1970, aims to rescue the image of the King from what the author sees as myth and bogus scholarship. Disentangling fact from legend, the text recreates the final years of the Anglo-Danish monarchy and examines England before the Normans.

4.0 out of 5 stars An essential for birdwatchers and non birdwatchers, 16 Jan 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Birds of the Gambia and Senegal (Helm Field Guides) (Paperback)
excellent field guide to an outstanding place to visit whether a committed birder or interested beginner. the plates are well laid out, not too crowded but large enough to get the main id points. The only complaints are that some of the illustrations may cause slight confusion for identifying some of the warblers and buntings, particularly for a novice birder, and a softback version would be so much better in the field. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent field guide, 20 May 2008
This review is from: Birds of the Gambia and Senegal (Helm Field Guides) (Paperback)
I own birding field guides to various countries and regions of the world and this is perhaps the most helpfully laid out of them all. The text includes authoritative yet concise descriptions for each species, along with notes on habits, status and distribution. The sections on separating similar species are also very useful.

The quality of the colour plates is generally extremely good, though the illustrations of a few species are relatively poor due to maintaining a single scale for each plate. (e.g. Quail Plover doesn't stand a chance when placed alongside Helmeted Guineafowl!)

As in any field guide, there are a few errors in the text, notably in the accounts of Short-toed and Beaudouin's Eagles (though I understand this reflects the confusion over the separation of these species current at the time of publication).

The book also suffers from a relatively weak binding. After intensive use in the field the covers tend to come off. Field guides should be tougher than this!

A second edition to iron out these deficiencies and to reflect the advances in knowledge of the birds of Gambia in the last ten years would be very valuable.

These deficiencies, however, are minor, and do not negate the fact that all in all this is an excellent field guide. I recommend it highly birders visiting Gambia

5.0 out of 5 stars The indispensable birders' book for The Gambia and Senegal, 22 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Field Guide to the Birds of the Gambia and Senegal (Hardcover)
I've just returned from two weeks travelling in Senegal and The Gambia, doing quite a bit of birding there. This Field Guide was simply excellent: the plates are of a very high quality, the distribution notes straightforward and helpful, and the descriptions of behaviour brilliant. Frequently, and almost uncannily, when trying to identify a bird, the exact behaviour and habitat we were observing was described in the text, helping precise identification greatly. The book was a pleasure to use and nothing else I have see for the region comes close; general West African guides will simply not do the job half as well as this book does. If you are going to The Gambia or Senegal and are interested in birds, get this book; you will be delighted that you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best field guide
Excellent

Good crisp fresh colouring on the plates, good field notes to aid identification, more than adequate geographical detail. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for travellers to The Gambia
One of the best Bird Guides I've seen, not just for The Gambia. The beautiful colour plates - featuring 500 birds - are beautifully, and clearly, drawn. Read more
