Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is with thanks to the unstinting efforts of a small team of workers in Botswana (Africa), and to the meticulous keeping and analysis of records by the author, that ornithologists and conservationists have a work which will serve as a baseline of bird distribution. The Bird Atlas of Botswana summarizes the records collected. The information is introduced by an extensive and well-researched introductory set of chapters covering the ornithology, geology, botany, and geomorphology of Botswana. This sets the scene for the distribution maps which follow, showing not only the distribution in Botswana, but also seasonal abundance and movements there, as well as the distribution of each species throughout Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book that outlines the top 50 birding spots in Kenya. Each site is structured in the same way according to key headings: overview; location; visitor info; habitat; key species; where to see what at that site, and other wildlife. Colur photographs of istes and species will accompany each site entry. The book will appeal to local birders and tourists. For the very first time, local and international birders will have a detailed guide to Kenya's best birding sites, which will help them to locate the key species in each area, including sought-after 'specials' and endemics. It offers: - a map for each site with specific guidance on where to look for particular birds - detailed information about the birds likely to be seen [I have added this, otherwise the main text for each site is overlooked? The final pointer doesn't specifically cover birds ... or am I wrong? Either way, it needs a little reworking.] - advice on when to visit - tips for planning your trip, and - descriptions of each site, detailing the plants and other wildlife [doesn't particularly refer to birds?] that may be encountered.
