Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This is the first truly comprehensive, taxonomically modern, and fully illustrated field guide to Chinese birds. Over 1300 species are illustrated in 128 color paintings, and they are fully described in the text. Color distribution maps are also provided for all illustrated species. The authors have both lived and worked in the region for many years, and they have extensive experience writing and illustrating bird guides. Thus, this important book will become a landmark in field guide publishing.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Comprehensive, but clunky
This is *the* comprehensive guide to birds of China as a whole, which is particularly important for the central and western parts of the country that are not covered in other field guides. However, for eastern China (including Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong--the destinations of most foreign visitors to China), it's not the guide I'll be carrying around in my pack for two reasons. First, it's huge! Second (and more important), the layout is clunky. The birds are depicted on plates at the front, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Birds of China
As I am going to China I wanted a field guide that showed the birds of that region and on the amount of information given on screen I was happy to purchase.
Whilst the item could have been received quicker I was not in a hurry to receive it and I did not want to pay the extra for a very quick arrival.
The book arrived well packed and in good condition so I was very pleased.
This is the second bird book that I have purchased from you and each time I have been pleased so thank you very ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must for twitchers in China
Finding any book in English on Birds of China is a nightmare so I was even more delighted at the quality, presentation, ease of use and comprehensive coverage of this book. It really is an absolute must for anyone in China trying to identify, in detail, the bird life there.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Poor Effort Artistically and Textually
We just completed a nine-day guided tour of the Tibetan plateau. Repeatedly, during this tour which allowed us to identify 165 species new to us, we attempted to use the subject bird guide, which by the way at $92 plus US is the most expensive guide we have EVER encountered anywhere. Repeatedly, we found the guide absolutely no help in either understanding the differentiation among various species or in providing visual representations and even rudamentary field marks. Nomenclature for some species ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Must-Have Field Guide for China's Birds
I visit Taiwan at least once a year, and always make it a point to do as much birding as possible. The main problem I have faced in the past has been finding a good English language field guide. I have always used James Wan-Fu Chang's "Field Guide to the Birds of Taiwan" (ISBN-13: 978-0917056437), and Wu Sen-Hsiong's "A Field Guide to the Birds of Taiwan" (ISBN 957-9578-00-1). Both books are very good, and highly recommended. However, each has its drawbacks. The main one being that both are written in ... Read More
