“This guide, with 600 pictures in rich colors describes in clear language 451 species of Terrestrial life as well as Marine life that can be found on the Islands of the Caribbean.
Plants, Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Marine Mammals, Mollusks, Fish and more.
Each species has a description easy to comprehend and smartly written for a pocket guide. The authors also included a great deal of pertinent information that would make ID of a species very simple and quite speedy. Along with the descriptions is a number of pages with information about important subjects such as the Islands, Biogeography, Geography, Climate, Habitats, etc.
As per my own experience I’ve been to various Caribbean Islands where a pocket guide like this one would have helped me very much when I needed it!”

Thanks for the heads-up.The Raffaele ‘Birds of the West Indies’ is very good too – though some may prefer the latest version of the Bond. RH
Yes! Thank you very much! 🙂
I always appreciate a pocket guide that includes all the wildlife when traveling, and I appreciate the time, effort, and skill involved in creating one. Thanks HJ. 😀
If you’ve noticed all my book reviews are very brief, that is done in purpose because I ‘d hate to describe too much and spoil the pleasure of discovering a good book or guide in this case. I know what it takes to write a book – Analogy= Giving birth?…and I’m a guy! Thanks dear! 🙂
Thanks for reviewing this, HJ. I’ll have to check it out. Especially because I can’t seem to figure out what I did with my wildlife book on Costa Rica…I might have left it there. ? ! 🙂
If you left it there… pay my airfare and I’ll go looking for it to Costa Rica, I promise to bring it back! No? Rats! 🙂
Thank you Lisa! 🙂
