| | | Title | | Eyewitness Handbooks.
| | | Publication | | London: Dorling Kindersley | | | Description | | This numerous series, published by Dorling Kindersley, covers a variety of topics from shells to the cheeses of France in attractive, slightly oversized volumes. They are not true field guides, since most volumes cover 500 species of plant or animal world-wide. It is not terribly useful to have a guide to 500 bird's eggs of the world when you are in the US which has at least 600 species of breeding birds, for instance! On the other hand, they are very attractive and serve well as a source of color photos and brief "bios" of their subjects. | | | Region | | WORLDWIDE | | | Classification | | Series | |
