Reviews
<p> Each of the 50 separate species accounts has a number of recognizable field-guide elements, such as plumage descriptions, range maps and high quality photographs. Yet it also places, side by side with these, traditional stories, poems, personal reminiscences and myths . . . typified by the inclusion Yaghan and Mapuche stories in their original language form. -- Ibis: The International Journal of Avian Science
Overall, this nicely produced volume addresses a pressing need for more ethnoornithology in field guides. Although heftier than ideal, the volume is invaluable for field identification. Highly recommended. --Choice Each of the 50 separate species accounts has a number of recognizable field-guide elements, such as plumage descriptions, range maps and high quality photographs.
