<br> Van Perlo's book can be considered the best bird field guide produced as far for Brazil due to a combination of its light weight and small size, thorough coverage of species, and generally good quality and useful plates, text, and range maps. --The Quarterly Review of Biology<br> This latest publication of a field guide to Brazilian birds moves the bar a couple of notches above the several existing recent attempts, all of which have been published in Brazil. It is certainly the single most useful book for field identification of Brazil's enormous and complex birdlife currently available. If you live in or soon plan to go birding in Brazil, buy this book and make the best of it, it will help you immensely! --AUK<br> Any birdwatcher planning a trip to Brazil needs A Field Guide to the Birds of Brazil.
