Nature's Beauty

Beautiful photography, attractively presented. A perfect small coffee table book and an inspiration for artists and lovers of nature's beauty.

more of a information book then the others are

This book is very good,but it is more of a informational book on pheasants then the others are about chickens/pigeons.Since alot of the different types of pheasants are wild or inside an enclosure type atmosphere,the photos are not all close up or take up the whole page.The one thing I would have liked is full body photos of the different range of colors of peacocks.There are some,but most are of close ups of the feathers themselves.Since they are not photos of the whole peacock it's difficult to visualize what the whole bird would like like completely covered with that feather pattern.All in all,I enjoyed the book alot and would still recommend it highly to anyone who enjoyed the other books about the different types of birds,but the "Extra Extraordinary Chickens" is my personal favorite.

Extraordinary Pheasants

I am a fly tyer and fly fisherman and I picked up this book to learn more about pheasants. This book has many fine photos which helps in my fly tying activities.

A vibrant avian celebration

Extraordinary Pheasants by professional photographer Stephen Green-Armytage is a splendid photographic study of pheasants from peacocks to game hens, as well as an incredible variety of other species. The superbly presented, closely detailed, impressive, full-color images of these majestic birds are the highlight of the book. All enhanced with an informative introduction, short, "reader friendly", descriptive comments concerning each pheasant species helping to round out this vibrant avian celebration. Extraordinary Pheasants is very highly recommended for bird fanciers and a welcome addition to personal, school, and community library "Pets & Wildlife" reference collections.
