[A] pleasure to hold and a joy to look at. . . . The paintings of the Solomons cockatoo, Cacatua ducorpsii, are gorgeous, with accurate (and evocative!) colours and poses. The painting of this species in flight is just so lovely, so delicately rendered that I can almost hear this bird shrieking joyfully as it flies through the skies. -- Devorah Bennu, GrrlScientist, It's a pleasure to leaf through this guide, which serves very well indeed the author's and artists' intention to 'stimulate the study and conservation' of the beautiful birds of a remote and alluring part of the globe. -- Rick Wright, American Birding Association, [A] pleasure to hold and a joy to look at. . . .

The scholarship is outstanding and the text and species accounts are clear, concise, and very well written. Any birder visiting Melanesia will need this book, without doubt." --Susan Myers, author of Birds of Borneo, "In a single volume, it features all the birds of Melanesia, including the Bismarcks, the Solomons, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia. Here, too, is useful information on the islands, their geology, climate, and vegetation, along with a short overview of Melanesian ornithology, birding etiquette, and the high levels of endemism that these islands offer. . . .
