This guide covers all 110 of the world's species of tits, nuthatches and creepers. The Parulidae ("true" tits), Remizidae (penduline tits) and Aegithalidae (long-tailed tits) form the bulk of the book (78 species), with a further 24 species of nuthatch and eight creepers. The text covers each species under a number of headings: identification, sex and age, voice, distribution and movements, habitat, population, habits, breeding biology, description, movements, geographical variation, relationships, and references. Simon Harrap is co-author of "Birdwatching in Britain", and co-author of the forthcoming "Helm Identification Guides to Robins and Chats and Thrushes". David Quinn co-illustrated "New World Warblers" and is a winner of the "British Birds Bird Illustrator of the Year" competition.

Based on phylogenetic research, this complete study of the genus Sylvia describes two new species and establishes identification criteria for all members of the family. A lengthy introduction explains the background to the research and outlines the main features of the genus. The 25 species are then treated in detail, including the African parisomas, which are here included in the Sylva group. The species accounts include sections on every aspect of identification, with colour illustrations showing age, sex and racial differences, distribution maps, sonograms, moult and wing diagrams and tables."

Champagne and Burgundy have more to offer than just wines. Both regions are rich in history, with lovely old churches, abbeys and chateaux, both have waterways among old towns and villages, and both contain some of the wildest, least populated areas of France. The hills, forests and looping rivers of the Ardennes and thick forests, streams and pools of Burgundy's Morvan are wild lands of legend and mythology. Champagne has become busy, like Paris, but Burgundy, for centuries an independent country, remains calm. This guide offers a series of tours which highlight the best of both regions. It includes a selection of hotels and restaurants, useful addresses and background sections on history, wine and food.

Dazzling in their beauty, many of the 123 species of kingfisher, bee-eater and roller are very poorly known. This reference provides a review of the group showing every species, all the main races and most sex and age variations. Text and plates are closely co-ordinated with emphasis on behaviour, field characters and identifcation. Colour maps showing breeding and wintering ranges are also included.
