guide to all the species of bird known to inhabit Western and Central Africa. Ber van Perlo introduces more
than 1,500 species through 109 expertly rendered full-color plates and concise, easy-to-consult entries. The
territory covered is vast - nearly 2,500 miles down the coast and over 1,000 miles inland, including not
only Senegal, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo but all or part of Benin, Burkina, Cameroon,
Cape Verde, the Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, The Gambia, Ghana, Equatorial
Guinea, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ghana, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Príncipe, São Tomé, Sierra Leone,
and Togo. Characterized mainly by lowlands and the coast but also some mountainous areas, the region is home
to a tremendous variety of species in myriad shapes, sizes, and colors - from ostriches, peacocks, and
flamingos to raptors and owls, from cuckoos and warblers to parakeets, parrots, turacos, weavers, widows,
and woodpeckers. Numerous major wetlands provide homes for herons, storks, ibises and other water birds,
including millions of migrants from elsewhere in the world. The plates show all plumages for each species
where these differ, including male, female, and juvenile. Succinct textual entries on each species appear on
the facing pages, providing key notes for identification and basic information about habitats and voice.
Distribution maps follow in the next section, and an appendix provides the French and Portuguese names.
Presenting the most essential, up-to-date information in convenient, highly portable form, Birds of
Western and Central Africa is the definitive guide for all birders planning or simply pondering a visit
to the region. [Features:] The only field guide to illustrate and describe every known species of bird in

inland, from Mauritania and Senegal southward to Nigeria all the way to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Verleger: "Jonathan Kingdon, one of
the foremost authorities on African mammals, has written and illustrated this new field guide which sets new
standards in African mammalogy. The author covers all the known species of African land mammals in a concise
text providing full information on identification, distribution, ecology, evolutionary relationships, and
conservation status. The focus is always on the mammals as seen in the field and on their ecology and
evolutionary interrelationships. Introductory profiles summarize the characteristics of the various mammal
groups, and the author simplifies many of the more complex groups of mammals by referencing genera. Twelve
newly recognized species of bushbaby, fourteen newly named gibbons, guenons, and mangabeys and nine newly
described colobus monkeys, contribute to a modern treatment of the monkeys. New species of bats, rodents,
and fox as well as a fully revised listing of the duikers, squirrels and genets are included. Kingdon
combines his long personal experience of life in Africa and his artistic talent with the best that modern
natural history and biological science can offer. With over 480 colour pictures and 280 maps covering some
1150 mammal species, this book is an essential companion to all visiting Africa or with an interest in the
mammals of the continent."
