Review:

"This field guide, a most satisfactory translation of the earlier Soviet edition, will make life much easier for Western bird-watchers when they seek out the avifauna of eastern Europe, of the Caucasus and Central Asia, of the Siberian tundra and of the Soviet Far East."--John A. C. Greppin, The Times Literary Supplement

"A seminal contribution to world birding."--Howard Simons, The Washington Post Book World
