Download or read book Field Guide to the Birds of East Asia written by Mark Brazil and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first single volume guide ever devoted to the eastern Asian avifauna. The eastern Asian region, centring especially on the major islands off the continental coast (including Japan and Taiwan) and the immediately adjacent areas of the Asian continent from Kamchatka in the north and including the Korean Peninsula are an important centre of endemism. Birds endemic to this region include representatives of many of the major families, from the world's largest eagle - Steller's Sea Eagle - to the tiny Formosan Firecrest. The east Asian continental coast and the offshore islands also form one of the world's major international bird migration routes, especially for waterfowl, shorebirds and raptors, while the east Asian continental mainland itself is home to a wide range of species little known to western ornithologists such as Scaly-sided Merganser, Oriental Stork and Mugimaki Flycatcher. The guide features the most up-to-date text available, which, in conjunction with extensive colour plates throughout, facilitates the field identification of all of the species known from the region. Colour distribution maps enhance the text by providing a visual analysis of the summer, winter and migratory ranges of all species.

Download or read book Field Guide to the Large and Medium sized Mammals of Pakistan written by Tom J. Roberts and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume covers sixty-five species with life history accounts and individual photographs, or pen and ink drawings made by the author." "During the second half of the twentieth century, since the birth of Pakistan, the author has witnessed many changes in the natural landscape of the country. These profound changes, necessitated by mankind's ever increasing need to develop both food and industrial resources, have inevitably resulted in a rapidly dwindling number of all our larger and more spectacular mammals. This field guide reveals, through accounts of their biology, their need for adequate living space, freedom from constant disturbance and persecution from man, and the threats posed by domestic flocks. The accounts show how they space themselves out, yet maintain contact with their kin, when precious food resources are hard to find. How even the largest and fiercest mammals are shy and secretive, needing undisturbed places for their continued survival." "It is hoped that this field guide will create a better awareness of our natural wildlife heritage, which we are so imminently in danger of losing. That in the future, there will be a determination to make some sacrifice in development needs to ensure their continued survival."--BOOK JACKET.
