Revue de presse

Produced by Interlink Publishing, the Traveller's Wildlife Guides are splendid overviews of the various creatures...Particularly helpful to me in this present volume is the authors', as well as the overall series', approach of presenting each taxonomic family in terms of its overall natural history rather than going into great detail at the individual species level... it is indeed to be welcomed by all... who seek a more multi-dimensional understanding of Peru's wildlife, and how each family relates not only to one another but to the larger ecosystem as well. --bornagainbirdwatcher.com
