More birders than ever before are visiting China; rest assured that this is THE guide to take with you. You'll be very happy that you did."---David M. Gascoigne, Travels With Birds "Anyone thinking of going to China needs this book."---John Miles, Birdwatch "No matter the time of year, there will be numerous birds to enjoy in one of the largest countries in the world. [Birds of China] is well done and put together in a user-friendly fashion for a reasonable price. Enjoy your birding in China."---Deb Hirt, Muskogee Phoenix "[A] MUST-HAVE for anyone birding China!"---Ian Paulsen, The Birdbooker Report "[W]hen I travel in China, with its 1,431 species of birds to be found within its borders, no single field guide has previously been sufficient to cover the expansive area across which I must travel on my duly appointed factory-visiting rounds. Fortunately . . . that changed with the publication of the new Birds of China."---John E. Riutta, The Well-read Naturalist
