"Once in a great while, a natural history book changes the way
people look at the world. In 1838, John James Audubon's Birds of
America was one . . . in 1934, Roger Tory Peterson produced Field
Guide to the Birds . . . now comes The Sibley Guide to Birds." --
New York Times
"Call the Sibley Guide an ecological testament to the majesty of
birds in all their variations. I can hardly wait to take this book
in hand and go birding with new eyes." --Terry Tempest Williams
"This wonderful book is comprehensive--erudite--in fact,
magnificent, a powerful book that will start a new generation of
bird books and birding. It provides triple the educational content
over any predecessor. The treatments are innovative and superb."
--Frank Gill, director of science, National Audubon Society
"A wonderful companion volume to David Sibley's superb bird books,
with the same beautifully precise species illustrations and
concise, clear descriptions and range maps--altogether an
invaluable contribution to our nature literature." --Peter
Matthiessen, author, on The Sibley Guide to Trees
