"the book narrows into the species accounts, which are reference entries packed with details, well complemented by maps and diagrams, and particularly valuable in the way they lead in to a comprehensive listing of the literature." * Scottish Birds News * ...illustrated to a very high standard. The text is both informative and easy to read as it uses a slightly larger font size than in some handbooks. * Jean Torrance, Scottish Bird News * The reputation of these guides, as being the scientific bedrock for ornithologists, is well deserved.... this will no doubt be part of the ornithological landscape for the next generation. Fatbirder, February 2006. Lire la suite...
