A preserved edition
The Land Birds of Southeast Brazil
A field guide to the birds of southeast Brazil by Heinz Remold — their descriptions, their photographs and, above all, their vocalizations. Published on three CD-ROMs between 2001 and 2011, and republished here from the discs themselves.
“Despite the far greater amount of information that can be conveyed using modern computer techniques, the transfer of current print field guides into electronic form has been slow. This current work is an attempt to change that situation.”
