Reviews

"[Birds of Greater Southern Africa] leaves no stone unturned. . . . If you are considering Greater Southern Africa for a working birding vacation, waste no more time. You now have a wonderful guide to give you direction and there are plenty of native specialists to lead you when you get there."---Deb Hirt, Muskogee Phoenix

"A MUST-HAVE for anyone birding Southern Africa!"---Ian Paulsen, The Birdbooker Report

"Modern field guides are almost without exception of outstanding quality and [Birds of Greater Southern Africa] does not buck the trend. It is well laid out, filled with information, and is authored by people with a long and distinguished association with the birds of the region. It is especially appealing that it covers Greater Southern Africa, encompassing the countries housing exceptional avian richness in the region."---David M. Gasciogne, Travels with Birds
