Wildlife of Southeast Asia<\/a>\"\" by Susan Myers, is a new pocket identification guide covering “wildlife” in Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, West Malaysia, and Singapore.<\/p>\n

It covers birds, mammals, reptiles, frogs, and invertebrates. Considering that there must be tens of millions of inverts in Southeast Asia, the coverage here is very minimal, just the highlights, just a few pages. This is mainly a bird book, with pretty good coverage of mammals, a bunch of snakes, some of the more important frogs, and some of the more obvious insects, etc.<\/p>\n

It is standard field guide size, and uses photographs rather than drawings. The first several pages outline the better wildlife viewing spots.<\/p>\n

The animal info comes with very little geographical information (i.e., no maps) presumably because the area of coverage of this book is actually fairly small and somewhat homogeneous.<\/p>\n

There are 500+ photos.<\/p>\n
