4.0 out of 5 stars The difference between an atlas and a field guide, January 4, 2001

With regard to the above comment, I'd just like to point out that this book is an atlas of Oregon wildlife, not an identification guide. If you've ever tried to scope out the range of a species from the tiny maps in most field guides, you'll appreciate the large size of these maps.

3.0 out of 5 stars Big book with too little detail, August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Atlas of Oregon Wildlife: Distribution, Habitat, and Natural History (Hardcover)

I was disappointed that a book this size had such limited descriptions of the animals. Nearly half of each page was devoted to a map which showed the areas where the animal might be found. The pictures of the animals are black and white sketchs with no color descriptions in the text. Can you imagine trying to identify birds without knowing what color they are? If the map had been scaled down there would be plenty of room to give more detailed descriptions of the creatures. The idea is very good, but the book is a disappointment.
