Brazil: Amazon And Pantanal (Travellers' Wildlife Guides) (Paperback)
by David L. Pearson, Les Beletsky "Ecotourism or ecotravel is travel to (usually exotic)
destinations specifically to admire and enjoy wildlife and undeveloped, relatively
undisturbed natural areas, as well as indigenous..."
The Brazilian Amazon region holds a very special place in the minds of the world's nature lovers as a vast wilderness of tropical forest splendor; and southern Brazil's Pantanal area, an immense wetland, has a well-deserved reputation for its tremendous wildlife-viewing opportunities. Ecotravellers to these regions want to experience tropical forests and other stunning habitats and catch glimpses of exotic wildlife: toucans and parrots, monkeys and anteaters, frogs and toads, crocodiles and snakes. In this book is all the information you need to find, identify, and learn about Brazil's magnificent animal and plant life.





Birds in Brazil (Hardcover)
by Helmut Sick, Paul Barruel (Illustrator), John P. O'Neill (Illustrator), William Belton (Translator)
Review
Helmut Sick was one of the most dedicated and active ornithologists ever to work in South America.... [This book is] of great scientific value, yet adopting the best ideas from 'old fashioned' natural histories, and it will stand as a fitting epitaph to its author. It is certainly enjoyable and informative.
Book Description
Here is a substantially revised and updated English-language version of the only comprehensive, scientific treatment of Brazil's 1635 bird species. Written by the then dean of Brazilian ornithologists and published in Brazil in 1985, it not only lists every individual Brazilian species and provides detailed accounts for most of them but also gives an extensive treatment of the characteristics of each bird family found in the country. In addition, it analyzes the composition of Brazil's avifauna and relates it to the country's geography.



Birds of South America:Non-Passerines: Rheas to Woodpeckers (Princeton Illustrated Checklists) (Paperback)
Book Description
Here in an easy-to-use format is the first guide to the nearly 1,300 species of non-passerine South American birds. It complements Robert Ridgly and Guy Tudor's large reference volumes on the passerines (1,800 species), which will soon be available in a single-volume field guide format.One of things that makes this book special is its use of masterful and alluring illustrations; most neotropical birders will want the book for the illustrations alone. The text concentrates on the key identification features of each species and follows the layout of other books in this series. The book may be used in conjunction with regional and country field guides.
