Recensione:
"How well does the book perform as a photographic guide? I used it this summer to solve a couple of questions I had . . . and it worked perfectly. How well does it perform as a book of bird photography? Even better. . . . [Shorebirds of North America, Europe, and Asia] is excellent and deserves a place on the waterbird enthusiast's bookshelf."--James A. Kushlan, Birding
"Its best feature is its division into two major sections, the first showing illustrations of shorebirds in standing poses and the second showing them in flight. Few shorebird identification guides give adequate space to shorebirds in flight. It's a great addition because extended wings may show patterns hidden by folded wings at rest."--Gary Clark, Houston Chronicle
"This is a handsome group of birds and the book's fine illustrations allow you to get to know these beauties better. In addition, the illustrations (by Stephen Message) are much larger than those in your average guide book. That makes it easy to see plumage detail, which can be very important when identifying shorebirds."--Jim Williams, Minneapolis Star Tribune
