Wonderful guide for beautiful Belize

As a frequent traveler to Belize I found this book a wonderful guide to all the natural beauty of Belize.

Excellent!

From Planeta journal:An impressive first edition, not as much a tourist's guidebook as a naturalist's handbook. Color illustrations document native birds, mammals and reptiles. The author provides a brief eco-history of the region as well as background on environmental threats and conservation. Excellent!
