Personal Review: Birds of East Asia: China, Taiwan, Korea,
Japan, and Russia (Princeton Field Guides) by Mark Brazil
For a neophyte birder like me (and probably for experts as well), travelling
or living in Taiwan, this book is a must have. Unless you read Chinese
Mandarin, there is no equivalent. The illustrations are much useable than
the "The Birds of China" by de Schauenesee. Of course, the repartition
maps are quite unuseful for Taiwan because of the scale, since it covers
all North-East Asia, so I'll still have a look to maps in the taiwanese
guidebooks published by . And in reference to a previous review I believe
that not having "Taiwan" mentionned in the title who have been very
offending for the bird-lovers of this country (if really needed, using a sticker
instead of removing the cover would be a bit more appropriate !). Anyway,
this book will always stay in my bagpack.
