This guide is packed with practical, interpretative information on
the most commonly encountered animals and plants of the Lowveld -
information that is usually only available if you have a game
ranger or field guide by your side in the bush! It teaches people
how to observe, identify and interpret what they see in the bush in
a meaningful way, without having to wade through the reams of
technical information found in most other field guides. The
reader-friendly mind-map layout of the book, with pictures linked
to brief but informative text boxes, makes pertinent information
accessible at a glance. Other features include colour-coded
chapters for ease of reference, while blocked information and icons
in the mammals and trees sections provide technical details in a
concise form. Hundreds of stunning interpretative images,
highlighted keywords and a flowchart structure to each spread
direct the eye to the different topics on each featured species,
allowing the reader to pick out whatever is of interest to him or
her. Game Ranger in your Backpack is an essential companion for
amateur naturalists of all descriptions including first-time
international visitors to South Africa's bushveld, annual local
holidaymakers or aspiring 'game rangers'.

In these entertaining birding anecdotes from around the world, Bo
Beolens, alias the 'Fatbirder', traverses many of the planet's wild
places, along with his wife Maggie, looking at birds - some
familiar, others exotic, a few beyond a person's most extravagant
expectations. On the way, he meets up with a wide variety of human,
animal and bird characters and experiences a plenitude of amusing
and sometimes bizarre happenstances, all told with the author's
wellknown flair and panache. Certainly, his travels are a credit to
his courage and fortitude in coming to terms with wild birds of
different plume, hue and voice. The book, with a prelude by
celebrity naturalist and broadcaster Mike Dilger, comprises
twenty-six alphabetical 'chapters' - starting with A for Anhinga,
the Snake-bird, and ending with Z for Zebra Finch - each being
accompanied by a humorous drawing by cartoonist and illustrator Des
Campbell. A-Z of Birds will surely amuse and entertain all those
who have a passion for birds and wish to be inspired by one who
already has lots of first-hand experience of how to (usually) get
the most out of travelling to far-flung lands to see them.
