The colour plates depict species in their natural environments with unmatched vividness and realism.

This is an essential guide to Chile's remarkable biodiversity.

Media reviews

"There is an embarrassment of riches in field guides, but truly novel approaches are rare. Sharon Chester's Wildlife Guide to Chile is one of the few books that stand out by virtue of their content, organization, and comprehensiveness. In a single, portable volume, Chester presents nearly every natural gem that Chile has to offer – richly illustrated, tersely described, and, in many cases, presented for the very first time in any field guide. Naturalists everywhere will recognize Chester's dedication to this project; travelers to Chile will simply gush with appreciation."
– Edward S. Brinkley, editor-in-chief of the journal North American Birds.
