A Field Guide to the Birds of New Zealand by Julian Fitter and Don Merton.
New Zealand is commonly described as “the land of birds.” Now, there is an easy-to-use guide for all those interested in this country’s remarkable bird population. A Field Guide to the Birds of New Zealand contains over 600 stunning photographs of the more than 350 bird species likely to be seen in this area of the world. Comprehensive and compact, the book includes full descriptions of all native species and regular visitors, distribution maps and measurements, key information on national parks, and useful information on ongoing conservation efforts in the country. Filled with handy tips for nature enthusiasts wanting to make the most of their trip, this is the only bird guide that anyone exploring this region will need.
Petrels, Albatrosses, and Storm-Petrels of North America: A Photographic Guide by Steve N.G. Howell.
“No other text on the tubenoses begins to offer the material contained in Howell’s latest book. The reader has a palpable sense, when reading it, that the author not only knows his subject and audience but also genuinely loves the ocean and its inhabitants–and relishes teaching people about them.”–Edward S. Brinkley, author of National Wildlife Federation Field Guide to Birds of North America
Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East by Dennis Paulson
“Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East is by far the most complete treatment of its kind. It is chock-full of interesting and useful information, and the illustrations are excellent. Paulson is one of the top experts in this field and his book reflects that extensive knowledge on every page.”–Giff Beaton, author of Dragonflies and Damselflies of Georgia and the Southeast
