The Birds of Zambia.

[摘要] This volume brings the status of ornithology in Zambia up to date, and the authors are to be warmly congratulated for their unstinting dedication to African birds. Their seminal work contributes greatly to our knowledge of one of the world's unique biodiverse areas, which holds many avian secrets and where there is a paucity of ornithologists and a plethora of birds. Representing decades of observation and careful documentation, this book belongs on the shelf of every ornithologist seriously interested in African avifauna. Along with The Birds of Malawi, it should be made available to students and professional ornithologists in every reputable academic ornithological library. Although this is a reference book and not a field guide, some field observers may very well wish to carry it in the field. If so, the soft cover should be reinforced to ensure durability and longer life.
