 Rating:  - Wonderful Book The Amazon Guides call it "The Bible"When I left for Peru, I wasn't sure what book to select. So, I hoped for the best with this book. When I got to the Rainforest, my personal guide called it the Bible. Every guide who saw me referencing the book, would immediately come up to me, take the book, and turn to the exact page where the animal was. I was really glad to have the book. In fact, one guide had a copy that was already on its last legs. I'd recommend this book if you are going on the Tambopata River. Rating: - Peru (The Travellers Wildlife Guide )Excellent book,well presented, beautifully illustrated, full of good factual information enabling the traveller to pick and choose areas of interest in this totally amazing country. Rating: - Peru (The Traveller's Wildlife Guide)Used this on our trip to Peru and it was the envy of our very knowledgeable tour guide. We ended up buying him a copy as a gift. Rating: - A gift to our Peru guideOur Peruvian guide (who had been in the business for about 20 years) saw this book and salivated so much that we gave it to him at the end of our trip. Very complete, very well organized, pictures were wonderful. Great help in identifying species. Another guide said it was the bible of Peru Wildlife. Rating:  - Review of "Peru (The Traveller's Wildlife Guides)"This book is an excellent intro primer for the ecotraveler. Its wildlife focus is mainly amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammalsts. Insects, fish, and plants get some mention. The book's country overview and its major habitat type descriptions, illustrations, and explanations are clear and useful as are the species photos and info. Thoughtful comments and info on conservation issues and ecotourism are included. |
