...an attractive, accessible and inviting work.
...this is a great book...the only photographic guide to include all woodpecker species on the planet, and is replete with great photography.
...a glossy and scholarly labour of love. The photographs, as well as being a joy to behold, bring home what a diverse world we live in.
...exhaustively researched and carefully compiled...a really nice reference book to an attractive and often under-rated group of birds.
...stunningly illustrated...give[s] the reader an appreciation of the full diversity of this family in a very attractive format.
