Synopsis:
The islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and Bali are ecologically one of the richest, most biologically complex areas in the world, sought out by thousands of knowledgeable nature lovers every year for the spectacular variety of wildlife and beautiful vistas. This book provides the first complete identification guides to the birds of this teeming tropical paradise. It gives descriptions of 820 regional species, illustrated in 88 specially commissioned color plates accompanied by notes detailing distinctive features and habitats. Entries cover nomenclature, plumage, markings, voice, global range, distribution and regional status, habits, and diet. The main text gives practical information on where to find many exotic species, citing major birdwatching locations. Introductory chapters discuss habitats, climate, land-use, and conservation concerns. Professional ornithologists and amateur bird watchers alike will find this the indispensable bird guide for eastern Malaysia and western Indonesia for many years to come. It is also an unrivalled source of information for casual travellers and ecotourists.

About the book >.>.> THE Greater Sunda Islands-Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and Bali-are biolog-ically one of the richest and most complex areas of our planet. Their com-plexity led to a large extent the Victorian naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace to identify the process of evolution by natural selection, which then prompted Charles Darwin to publish his own conclusions on the subject. These form the foundations of modern biology. Yet 150 years later, our knowledge of the precise relationships of the bird faunas of these important islands remains only a little better than it was when Wallace was collecting in northern Borneo. Worse, the forests are now being destroyed, and if we do not docu-ment quickly which species occur where, the information content of the region may be lost for ever. One handicap in gathering a complete picture of the distribution of the birds of the region has been the paucity of regional field guides. For Sumatra there is a Checklist (Marle and Voous 1988) but no illustrated field guide. Most Sumatran endemic species h. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM625-VG-13022
