China covers about 7% of the earth's land surface and encompasses a hugely diverse range of habitats. As a result, it boasts a rich and diverse avifauna, including some of the most spectacular and fascinating birds to be found anywhere in the world. Building on the enormous popularity and reputation of the original A Field Guide to the Birds of China (2000), John MacKinnon's fully updated and refreshed work remains a truly comprehensive, taxonomically modern, fully illustrated, and authoritative field guide. 1484 bird species are richly illustrated in 164 annotated colour plates, which are closely integrated with up-to-date colour distribution maps, QR codes providing easy access to birdcalls, IUCN Red List status indicators and new, concise descriptions. These descriptions feature key observations as well as conveying crucial changes to species distributions resulting from climate change and landscape transformation. Guide to the Birds of China will appeal to an international and growing audience of professional and amateur ornithologists and birding enthusiasts, academic researchers and students, wildlife photographers, and conservationists.

"The avifauna of China include a total of close to 1,500 species, of which 60 are endemic. More than 100 species are globally threatened. This new field guide, published in China by Chinese National Geography, treats all species, illustrating every one using 4,000 individual images. Each species has identification text and a distribution map. It is, in every way, a modern-style field guide and will fill a void for birders within and outside China"--

The people of Xingtai were fortunate to have had Peggy Bickford teach them about the English language and American life, just as we are fortunate to have her fine book The Cuckoo Comes at Harvest to educate us about life in the rural town of Xingtai, China. This evenhanded description of a small Chinese town offers an interesting contrast to life in the metropolitan Chinese cities most commonly pictured. Xingtai is typical of places where the masses of Chinese people live and this is how they live. In addition to the lucid text, the 42 illustrations give an intimate view of living and working conditions in contemporary inland China and a sympathetic look at the people. This valuable and worthwhile book is a must for anyone interested in modern China.
