With 234 superb color plates, and more than 950 color maps, Birds of East Asia makes it easy to identify all of the region's species. The first single-volume field guide for eastern Asia, the book covers major islands including Japan and Taiwan, as well as the Asian continent from Kamchatka to the Korean Peninsula. The region's major bird families are presented and distinct species are noted, from the well-known Steller's Sea Eagle--the world's largest eagle--to those less familiar to Western ornithologists, such as the Scaly-sided Merganser, Oriental Stork, and Mugimaki Flycatcher. The maps provide useful information about the seasonal migratory patterns of all bird varieties.

Birds of East Asia is a must-have resource for birdwatchers, ecotourists, and wildlife enthusiasts everywhere.

レビュー

"Although northeastern Asia boasts a number of regional endemics and is a source of many actual and potential vagrants to North America, the region has been sorely lacking a modern field guide. . . . Birds of East Asia finally provides a treatment that meets the standards expected for modern field guides. . . . I will certainly take it with me on any future visits to the region. That's a compliment I cannot offer any other current or past field guide to the region."---Nick Lethaby, Birder

"Any birder planning to visit this fascinating part of the world will want to get Birds of East Asia for their trip."---Federick Brock, Wildlife Activist

"Eastern Asia, in a biological sense, represents one of the last great frontiers, even for a group as generally well known as birds. Brazil, a field ornithologist with considerable experience with Asian avifauna, has produced the first comprehensive guide to birds of the region. . . . This is an excellent field guide and reference book. Birders who travel extensively in East Asia (or who want to) will own a copy as will any library with strong ornithological holdings."-- "Choice"

"Finally. The first single-volume guide for eastern Asia, and it's exquisitely illustrated."---Matt Mendenhall, Birder's World

"This interesting guide, which covers major islands including Japan and Taiwan, as well as the Asian continent from Kamchatka to the Korean peninsula, is amply illustrated with a plethora of color plates and maps that will provide any traveler with the information necessary to identify any bird of this vast region."-- "Indiana Audubon Quarterly"

"Winner of the 2009 Louis Brownlow Book Award"

アジア極東地域(日本、韓半島、中国、台湾、ロシア極東地域)の鳥類を網羅した図鑑。
大まかな生息域や、雄雌の違いが彩色された図で表現されている。図鑑を開くと左ページには鳥類の説明、右ページには図が記載されていて、全頁を通して統一されたフォーマットで記載されている。本自体が通常の図鑑に比べて小さく、情報量も多いので一つ一つの図が小さくなるのは仕方ないが、見ているだけで勉強になる素晴らしい図鑑である。小さな図だが精細に描かれているので、亜種や変種の違いをすぐに見分けることができるだろう。
全編英語だが、鳥の図から英名や学名を逆引きするのにも非常に都合がいい。
ハードカバーの図鑑ほど高価でもなく、本棚に置いておき手にとってパラパラと眺めて悦に入るという図鑑本来の楽しみ方を満喫できる素晴らしい本である。

Great field guide

2010年9月30日に日本でレビュー済み

This is an excellent book. I read Japanese and use it together with my Japanese language field guides, and I think this one is superior.
For:
Very accurate pictures.
Great maps.
Good index system.

Against:
It's huge! Has a lot of birds in it so can't be helped, but this is a seriously big field guide.

Excellent, complete field guide for a weakly covered area

2009年2月12日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Bascis: 2009, softcover, 236 color plates of 1,000+ species with multiple illustrations of each, one concise paragraph concentrates on distribution, identification, and voice; range map for each bird

This is both a quality and a much needed field guide for eastern Asia. Making it additionally important is being the only book in English (or any language) to describe and illustrate all the birds of this large geographic region. In all, 1,004 species are described and illustrated in 236 plates.

The illustrations are done with very good quality. The artistry may look familiar since they are done by artists who've produced other top-notch guides (e.g., Per Alstrom, Derek Onley). Due to the 13 different illustrators, the variation of artistry is noticeable between the families of birds; however, all are very good and do not present any distractions. Nearly every bird is illustrated with 2-9 plumages or angles. These represent differences between gender, seasons, and notable subspecies or races. A fair amount of attention has been given to noting the subspecies. Only a few birds (some tits, warblers, accentors, and vagrants) are shown with only a single image. Views of distinguishing field marks are shown in the tails and wings by illustrating birds in flight. If I had to pick on something in the plates, I'd only note that the bright whites of the Phylloscopus warblers appear to be too stark.

The text for each bird is a paragraph ranging from 14-40 lines. At least 50-60% is dedicated to concise, effective descriptions of the bird and its various plumages. These descriptions offer some very useful, detailed information; however, very little is offered in comparing the birds to similar species. A nice touch is the inclusion of a line or two dedicated to just "BP", or Bare Parts (i.e., bill, eyes, and legs).

The remainder of the text gives a good account of the bird's distribution over the range. It also provides a brief summary of the habitat. The descriptions of the voices often do a valiant job at capturing the texture or pattern of the bird's song or calls, which will helpful when considering a look-alike species.

Considering the large range covered, the maps do a good job at illustrating the birds' ranges. These ranges are a bit generalized in these 2x2cm maps, but are effective. Some of the more range-restricted birds, such as the Pryer's Woodpecker, require an arrow to draw your attention to the tiny island on which it lives. No map shows an area of less than 1,200 miles wide. This makes the maps for Taiwan endemics to be a little weak. The five different colors in the maps represent resident, summer, winter, migration, and scarce.

What area is considered "East Asia" in this book? Both of the Koreas and all of Japan and its islands are covered. The eastern 1/3 of Russia and 1/5 of China are covered, ranging no further south than Hong Kong.

This book is a must-have book for going to any of these areas. Its quality and completeness will serve you better than any other book I've used or examined. The next best options for a more restricted range include the books[...] by Viney, MacKinnon, Wu, Lee, or Shimba.

About as good as there is

2016年12月16日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

As a good a bird guide as I could find for a trip to China. It was useful for most common species, although as China has over 1,300 species there are gaps in coverage. The illustrations aren't up do the standard of European guides, many seem quite dark and very muddy to me, however the detail in the descriptions compensate somewhat for this. I've since read advice that states the best option for birders visiting China is to buy this book as a companion to Collin's European Birds Guide, which gives better ID indications for many East Palearctic birds it treats as vagrants.

Beautiful artwork and concise layout

2009年2月12日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I just received this book in time for an upcoming trip to NE China. The plates are opposite the range maps and field notes for easy reference. The artwork is excellent and also includes some juvenile forms and seasonal variations. The field notes are concise and helpful and include notes on subspecies. The binding is rugged and durable.

The only other comparable book is Birds of China by MacKinnon and Phillipps, which I also own. MacKinnon's book is bulkier and has an awkward layout with maps and plates in front and field notes in the back. One very important caveat is that MacKinnon covers all of China while Brazil includes only coastal China (up to about 110 degrees east). Travelers to Western China are advised to buy MacKinnon's book instead.

Overall, Birds of East Asia is a portable and useful field guide. Highly recommended.

Great Guide, But Perhaps Too Ambitious

2009年4月29日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

As others have noted from their respective corners of eastern Asia, range maps might be a little off, and I can add eastern Russia to that list. I restrict this review to that geographical area. I suspect that the Kamchatka range maps are good, and many of the songbirds appear to be properly represented throughout the Russian Far East, but for the southern Russian Far East some of the maps of key low-density raptors (Saker falcon, Mountain hawk eagle, Monk vulture) are way off.

Although the author clearly relied on the knowledge of regional experts who did not always give him the best or most current information regarding species distribution, the bottom line, I think, is that this is the best guide (at least in both English and Russian) for the Russian Far East. Just don't rely too much on the range maps.
