And a fine book it turns out tobe! Produced on excellent quality paperand bound in a way that gives theappearance of red leather, it feelsgood in the hand of the book lover.Inside are eighty-two articles, arrangedin seven sections: Places, Mammals,Birds, Reptiles, Spiders, Insects, andPlant Life.

Based as they are on a lifetime offield work combined with soundscholarship, the articles are authorit-ative. Norman Wa
