Natural History

About this title

Synopsis

The first complete identification guide to the birds of this important region, it includes descriptions and stunning colour illustrations of all 820 species found there. Of outstanding ornithological interest, many birds live on these islands that do not occur anywhere else. Information is provided on where to look for these endemic and insular forms and on major birding localities, while introductory chapters discuss habitats, climate, land-use, and conservation. This will be the indispensable bird guide for eastern Malaysia and western Indonesia for many years to come.
