Signs of Southern and East African Wildlife (3rd Edition)
von Chris Stuart & Tilde Stuart
Paperback, 3. Auflage, 310 Seiten, Farb-
& Schwarzweißfotos, Schwarzweißillustrationen Struik Publishers
(Südafrika), Juni 2001, ISBN 1-86872-558-8
Rückentext: "Every animal leaves
some indication of its presence or its passing - a track, a dropping, a feeding sign or just a depression in
the grass. By reading these signs you can gather fascinating information about the animal's behaviour, its
feeding pattern, its movements and its relationship with its environment. A Field Guide to the Tracks
& Signs of Southern and East African Wildlife is unique in its approach to identification. It allows
you to first look at the track or sign and then, by means of keys, to determine the animal group or species
responsible for what to see. The keys refer you to detailed descriptions and illustrations. The book is
arranged to enable quick identification. There are chapters on tracks, droppings and bird pellets, feeding
signs, other signs (such as mudwallows, scent marks, feathers and shed skin) and skulls."

Field Guide to the Trees and
Shrubs of the Miombo Woodlands
Kew Field Guides
von Paul Smith (Text) & Quentin Allen (Illustrationen)
Verleger: "Designed for a wide range
of people working in, or visiting, south-central Africa, this practical field guide to the trees and shrubs
of the Miombo woodlands provides an accessible account of 60 of the most common trees and shrubs of the
Miombo vegetation. Each species is attractively illustrated with line drawings and watercolours, and every
account includes a distribution map as well as general notes on appearance, habitat, ecology and uses. Many
Miombo species have symbiotic relationships with edible fungi, the most common of which are also described
and illustrated. Based on extensive field experience in Zambia's national parks, this book has been written
with a minimum of technical language to assist non-specialists and specialists alike in intuitive plant
recognition."

variety of tree species - an estimated 1,700 altogether, with another 100 or so introduced from other parts
of the world and now naturalized. The Field Guide to Trees of Southern Africa describes, in clear and
concise fashion, more than 1,000 of the more common and accessible ones. The book has been written and
designed with the non-specialist reader in mind. Species accounts are logically arranged in 43 groups based
on easy-to-observe leaf and stem characters, and each species account is illustrated by at least one
full-colour photograph of the plant's most readily identifiable part or parts. The text also touches on the
practical uses of plants; supplementary features include useful notes on tree identification and an
extensive illustrated glossary."

Schwarzweißfotos, Farb- & Schwarzweißillustrationen, Diagramme, Übersichts- & Verbreitungskarten,
mit Audio-CD Struik Publishers

Klappentext: "Garden ponds, vleis,
forests and deserts - frogs are found in practically every environmental niche. Frogs and Frogging in
Southern Africa examines how these remarkable creatures behave and how they have adapted to survive in
different habitats. The field guide section of the book describes all 129 frog species that occur in the
region and includes clear, colourful photographs, keys and maps to aid identification. Other sections
explain the evolution of frogs, how to find, photograph and record them, myths and medicinal uses, and a
wealth of other fascinating detail. At night frogs are more often heard than seen and their calls are a
reliable way of identifying species. The inclusion of a CD featuring 56 frog calls is a unique and valuable
addition to the publication."

The Guide to Bats of Southern
Africa
A Handbook on Biology, Identification
and Conservation
von Peter John Taylor, Merlin D. Tuttle (Fotos) & Christeen Grant (Illustrationen)
Verleger: "Public appreciation of the
ecological value and remarkable biological adaptations of bats is rapidly growing. Bat-watching is one of
the world's fastest growing specialist wildlife interests, and bat conservation groups have sprung up all
over the world. This book was written to raise public awareness of bats in southern Africa, and to dispel
some popular myths about them. It provides the prospective bat-watcher with both an authoritative species
identification guide and a practical handbook. Bats of Southern Africa contains species accounts for
all the region's 74 species of bats, with descriptions and diagnostic features as well as information on
habitat, social and roosting habits, diet, reproduction, echolocation call, distribution and conservation
status. Superb photographs by world bat expert Dr. Merlin D. Tuttle and illustrations by Christeen Grant are
supplemented by distribution maps and sonograms of ultrasound echolocation. Dr. Taylor, who is the Curator
of Mammals at the Durban Natural Science Museum, also provides practical guidance for those eager to get
started with bat-watching and 'hands-on' conservation projects such as bat groups, bat houses and bat
detectors, and offers advice on dealing with householders' bat nuisance problems."

groups, and the author simplifies many of the more complex groups of mammals by referencing genera. Twelve
newly recognized species of bushbaby, fourteen newly named gibbons, guenons, and mangabeys and nine newly
described colobus monkeys, contribute to a modern treatment of the monkeys. New species of bats, rodents,
and fox as well as a fully revised listing of the duikers, squirrels and genets are included. Kingdon
combines his long personal experience of life in Africa and his artistic talent with the best that modern
natural history and biological science can offer. With over 480 colour pictures and 280 maps covering some
1150 mammal species, this book is an essential companion to all visiting Africa or with an interest in the
mammals of the continent."
