Endemic Bird Areas of the World, edited by Alison Strattersfield, Michael
Crosby, Adrian Long and David Wege, is the result of BirdLife’s long-running
biodiversity project. It is a handsome, 850-page volume that identifies all the
major endemic bird sites, discusses the species found there, and considers the
threats these areas are facing. For conservationists this volume will be an
invaluable reference work, while for keen birders it is the ultimate
where-to-watch guide. Published by Birdlife International, £37/$60,
