This commemorative tenth edition celebrates the contribution of the late author, Kenneth Newman, fully revised and updated by his daughter, Vanessa Newman, to reflect the latest research, taxonomy and common names. Newman's Birds of Southern Africa, a leading field guide in the region, illustrates and fully describes all the birds recorded from the Antarctic to the Zambezi River. The familiar, user-friendly format of Newman's Birds has been subtly modernized for a fresh look, and plate annotations have been added to the large, accurate paintings of each species, in line with modern trends.
Kenneth Newman is a renowned bird painter, author and ornithologist who has contributed largely to the increased interest and awareness of birds in recent years. He is the author of a number of books including: LBJs Made Easier, Confusing Birds, Newman's Bird by Colour (forthcoming) and Discover Garden Birds with Ken Newman (CD-ROM).
"This classic field guide features hundreds of large color plates, a comprehensive checklist -- and revised information on habitats and distribution. Maps, text and illustrations are grouped together for easy reference. This is the book to carry anywhere south of the Zambezi."
