'the most complete and comprehensive field guide for the region of the Greater Sunda islands ... No doubt, this top field guide will be wanted by any birder going to the Greater Sunda islands as well as by many ornithologists as a general reference. I encourage everyone to have a copy.'Josef Kren, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Moravian Ornithological Society, Czechoslovakia', 'This new and enlarged edition is ... very welcome and has been long awaited by many ornithologists who travel in the region. The texts on the species have, of necessity been kept brief, but nevertheless give in a clear layout all important information. The coloured illustrations are ... allincomparably better than in the (first edition) for Java and Bali. The book fills a gap and is indispensable for every ornithologically interested visitor to the region.'Journal fur Ornithologie 1235, 1994, 'This attractive new book fills an important gap in the literature on the ornithologically rich Indonesian and Malaysian islands of the Greater Sundas. The superb colour plates by K. Phillipps are the highlight of the book ... the overall standard of the book is very high, and it will be anessential addition to the library of anybody interested in birds of the Oriental region.'Charles Francis, Ibis, 1994, "The 800+ illustrations by Karen Phillipps, presented in 99 color plates, are nicely done and an essential compliment to the text. . . . a major contribution to bird study . . . and an essential reference for ornithologists and birders visiting or residing in those islands. Most highly recommended." --Wildlife Activist "The most complete and comprehensive field guide for the region of the Greater Sundra islands is more than just a field guide. The heart of the book is a section of 88 very good color plates. No doubt, this top field guide will be wanted by any birder going to the Greater Sundra islands, as well as by many ornithologists as a general reference. I encourage everyone to have a copy." --Josef Kren, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, in Zpravy Mos "Will make birding the region a pleasure. The authors have made the extra effort to produce a guide book that has virtually every type of information that a visiting birder might desire. Each species account is compact but informative. The various regional maps are excellent. . . . the only field guide available for the region. This book, I believe, will supersede all that is in print, and will be a must for birders and naturalists visiting one or more of the islands." --Audubon Naturalist News "This landmark book deserves a place in the libraries of both birders and ornithologists. ...It adequately fills a previously unoccupied niche in avian literature. Even those who have no plans to visit the Greater Sundas will profit from perusing its pages for what they reveal about avian bigeography." -- The Auk "No doubt, this top field guide will be wanted by any birder going to the Greater Sunda islands as well as by many ornithologists as a general reference. I encourage everyone to have a copy."--Josef Kren, 'We hope that this useful field guide not only attracts crowds of Birdwatchers but also contributes to the local inhabitants learning and appreciating their rich bird population, i.e. learning to protect.'Ornis, February 1994/Nr.1, "The 800+ illustrations by Karen Phillipps, presented in 99 color plates, are nicely done and an essential compliment to the text. . . . a major contribution to bird study . . . and an essential reference for ornithologists and birders visiting or residing in those islands.
