Puerto Rico's Birds in Photographs Now available: Puerto Rico's first book to illustrate in color photographs all breeding birds and regular migrants. Over 320 color photos of 185 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 80 professional and amateur ornithologists collaborated in this effort. The book comes with a CD-ROM with detailed Spanish and English life history accounts and bibliography of 400 species, plus audio clips, and over 1,350 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. Distributed in Puerto Rico by: |
