"This field guide has been long awaited by the growing number of birders visiting China. By including in one volume all the species--complete with
distribution maps--recorded in this vast country, it represents a huge step forward. It is the first complete, taxonomically up-to-date and fully
illustrated guide to the birds of China published in English ... The initial chapters include an introduction to the region, with a revealing section
on birds in the local economy and culture. ... Next come the 128 all-important colour plates, which have distribution maps opposite--an arrangement
which I like. ... The species accounts cover nomenclature, descriptions, voice, range (global), distribution and status (within region) and habits,
and occupy 500 pages. Finally, there are appendices which include lists of endangered and protected species, and endemic and limited-distribution
species. ... This book is a major achievement and an invaluable conservation tool."
