Helm's exquisite eye for detail and intricate illustrations - hitting that sweet spot between art and practicality - make these a must-have for any globetrotting birders. * Wanderlust * A truly outstanding field guide ... It is small, has extensive color illustrations of all the birds, a complete set of maps, and all the information needed on plumage, distribution, habitat, elevation, and behavior to sort out the species. It really is excellent ... By virtue of its simplicity and thoroughness, this is an outstanding field guide. I really cannot wait to take it into the forest and give it a field test.

Locals will also find it useful as ... it is compact and light and easy to carry over difficult terrain. * Canadian Field Naturalist * Myers is clearly an expert on the birds of Borneo, and she has gathered a lot of information together.
