Description
This is the first English-language field guide to the wildlife of Chile
and its
territories-Chilean Antarctica, Easter Island, San Félix y San
Ambrosio, and the Juan Fernández Archipelago. The colour plates depict
species in their natural environments with unmatched vividness and
realism. The combination of detailed illustrations and engaging,
succint and authoritative text makes field identification quick, easy
and accurate. Maps, charts and diagrams provide information about
landforms, submarine topography, marine environment, climate,
vegetation zones and the best places to view wildlife. This is an
essential guide to Chile's remarkable biodiversity.
'In a single portable volume, Chester presents nearly every natural gem
that Chile has to offer-richly illustrated, tersely described, and, in
many cases, presented for the very first time in any field guide.'
-Edward S. Brinkley, editor in chief of the journal North American Birds
