Editorial Review: Product Description: This concise, updated edition of the award-winning A Guide to the Birds of Southeast Asia (Princeton, 2000) is the most comprehensive, compact guide to this magnificent bird-rich region. It is a complete field and reference guide to the birds of Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. It also covers a wide range of species found in the Indian subcontinent, China, Taiwan, Sumatra, Java, Bali, Borneo, and the Philippines.
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Probably the best for use in the field.A really great work! I wish I had this book last year when I made a stopover at the Bangkok Airport going to and from Germany. Even though I was unable to step outside, I did some birdwatching from the large window overlooking the beautiful spacious garden outside.

Sure it covers 1270 species, but I only wanted ... Read More Rating: - NiceVery nice art, and very compact. Concise ID info adjacent to color plates. I only wish that there was a range map with each individual species. Instead, there are abbreviations of the countries that the birds are located in put into the text. Otherwise, it's great. Rating:  - A Broad StrokeMr. Robson's guide is just the thing if you're looking for a wide sampling of the birds of Southeast Asia. The illustrations are first rate and the plates are organized well. Mr. Robson's description of each bird's appearance, its song, and its general habits can be very helpful to the hardcore as well as the casual birder. The book has some bonus features. There is a handy bird family and genus page pictoral index on the inside of the front cover and the book has a waterproof (and dropping ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
