Editorial Reviews 
From the Back Cover
There is a place on earth where time stands still-where nature and religion have combined to turn a tiny Buddhist kingdom into the world's last Shangri-La. Locked between Tibet and India, Bhutan is the jewel of the Himalayas. To the north of the kingdom, towering virgin peaks rise to 25,000 feet. Beneath steep glacial walls, alpine highlands fall to misty forests. Mountain streams cut through gorges on their way down to warmer valleys and wide marshes in the heart of the kingdom. One distinct landscape drops to the next before finally descending to the jungle and grasslands of the southern plains. For the people who have adapted to this domain of extremes, Bhutan is a Living Eden where respect for life, in all its many incarnations, endures like the land itself.

Cavex from Tacoma, WA/USA
Most guidebooks for birders are very general in their descriptions of the birds. "Birds of Bhutan" tells you when and where in the country you can view them. Includes endangered and endemic species. Beautifully detailed showing all varieties, this book is Written very specifically about Bhutan Birds buts still gives information about where in Asia these birds range. This Book is a must have!
