| Now available: Puerto Rico's first book to
illustrate in color photographs all breeding birds and regular migrants.
Over 400 color photos of 191 species of Puerto Rican birds are included.
The English text is designed for students, teachers, tourists, and anyone
who wants to understand Puerto Rico's natural heritage by learning about
its fascinating birds. The species' life histories are written in a non-technical
style for the general reader, and include important lessons for conservation
of our natural resources. Most common birds of the Virgin Islands and
Lesser Antilles are also illustrated. Over 100 professional and amateur
ornithologists collaborated in this effort. The book comes with a CD-ROM with Spanish and English life history accounts and audio clips of over 400 species, plus detailed bibliography and over 2,900 photos. Translation by José Placer. The CD-ROM is written in HTML, for PC and Macintosh computers, and allows easy use for student projects in biology, music, and art.
