Verleger: "This book will be of
particular interest to professional arachnologists worldwide. The natural history section provides important
information on the predatory behaviour and medical importance of African spiders and will be of interest
also to naturalists, ecologists, gardeners and physicians. This is the most comprehensive manual to the
identification of African spiders to date. Africa is richly endowed with 71 spider families, representing
two-thirds of the world fauna. A key to the families was still sorely lacking and has been successfully
addressed in this profusely illustrated new book which includes: illustrated keys to identify all families
and subfamilies; diagnostic and descriptive characters for each family with linedrawings of the habitus and
diagnostic characters; a complete list of all the genera (892) recorded from this region with distribution
records and the number of described species (5417) for each genus; notes on the natural history of each
family with overviews of research that has been conducted on African fauna with special reference to
predatory behaviour and medical importance; information on the phylogeny and taxonomy of each family with
taxonomic references relevant to the Afrotropical fauna including recent revisions; an extensive
bibliography."

Verleger: "Amphibians of Central
and Southern Africa is the first comprehensive guide to the frogs, toads, and caecilians of the ten
sub-equatorial African countries - Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa,
Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The result is at once a valuable reference tool, a field guide, and a
source of ideas for future research. A source of increasing interest in their own right, amphibians are also
benchmark species for biodiversity, and are used as laboratory animals in many of the sciences. In the wild,
amphibians, especially frogs, act as natural monitors of water quality and are invaluable in pest control.
Their skins secrete a wide range of pharmacologically active substances, such as antibiotics and
painkillers. Yet frog populations are declining worldwide, mainly due to human destruction of their
habitats. Alan Channing synthesizes information published over the last century to provide the first natural
history and a portrait of the amphibian fauna of this vast region. Key features of Amphibians of Central and
Southern Africa include: Detailed accounts for 205 species of frogs and toads (and 2 species of caecilian)
accompanied by color illustrations, distribution maps, details of breeding and tadpole behavior, and call
descriptions. Illustrations and tadpole identification keys for each genus. Special sections for some
species with topics such as 'skin toxins'. An overview of fossil frogs, a discussion of humankind and frogs
in Africa, and a bibliography of African frog biology."

The Behavior Guide to Africa's
Mammals
Including Hoofed Mammals, Carnivores,
Primates
von Richard Despard Estes (Text) & Daniel Otte (Illustrationen), Vorwort von Edward Osborne
Wilson
Verleger: "The Behavior Guide to
African Mammals is as different from a conventional field guide as motion pictures are from a snapshot.
Whether we are able to look at them face to face, on television, or in the hundreds of illustrations
provided here by Daniel Otte, this guide allows us to understand what animals do and what their behavior
means. Drawing on his own extensive fieldwork and on the research of many other scientists, Richard Estes
describes and explains the behavior of four major groups of mammals. Estes's remarkably informative guide is
as up-to-date for the zoologist as it is accessible for the interested onlooker."

Verleger: "Birds of Africa south
of the Sahara provides unrivalled coverage of African birds in a single volume, and is the first book to
describe and illustrate all of the birds found in Africa south of the Sahara Desert (the Afrotropic Region),
including Socotra, Pemba and islands in the Gulf of Guinea. Some 2105 species are covered, with an
additional 70 vagrants briefly described, and more than 2000 images assembled on 359 plates. Illustrations
portray most distinctive plumages, as well as diagnostic flight patterns and major geographic variants.
Species descriptions give precise identification features, highlighting differences between similar species,
as well as briefly reporting habitat, status and calls. Distribution maps for each species are based on the
latest atlas surveys. The most up-to-date taxonomy is used, with many new species described and illustrated
for the first time. Despite its exceptional coverage, this guide is compact enough to use in the field, and
follows the standard field guide format, with texts and range maps appearing opposite the colour
plates."

Birds of Southern Africa
Princeton Illustrated Checklists
Verleger: "Birds of Southern
Africa fills the blanks most others leave in their coverage of this region by describing all 1,250 bird
species one might see not only in South Africa but in Zambia and Malawi (both long neglected elsewhere),
Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. And this is the only guide to illustrate
the birds of Angola (including Cabinda), home of the striking White-headed Robin Chat of river basins and
the Angolan Cave Chat, a dweller of rocky hillsides. The 84 color plates depict vagrants, ocean wanderers,
and many other birds that occur across a huge region characterized by widely varying habitats from woodlands
and forests of various types to deserts to swamps. The text opposite the plates concisely describes similar
species and subspecies by physical traits, habitat, and voice. All the larks are shown in flight as well as
perched, and every swallow is pictured in flight from below. The most distinctive immature and non-breeding
plumages are included. This book will be an invaluable resource to any birder contemplating a trip to
southern Africa."
