Wonderful guide for beautiful Belize 2007-07-24
As a frequent traveler to Belize I found this book a wonderful guide to all the natural beauty of Belize.
Great overview of Belize wildlife 2006-11-04
I actually saw this book while travelling in Belize and wanted it to help me identify all the great animals we were seeing, but it was rather expensive. I got it on Amazon when we got home and it really helped identify some of the things I had taken pictures of. Next time I visit Belize I will be taking it with me. Nice colour photos and descriptions with some interesting information about the natural history.

Great book, but where's the picture of the red footed booby?
Excellent! 1999-04-03
From Planeta journal:An impressive first edition, not as much a tourist's guidebook as a naturalist's handbook. Color illustrations document native birds, mammals and reptiles. The author provides a brief eco-history of the region as well as background on environmental threats and conservation. Excellent!
