  1. A Masterpiece
    As one who has nearly two entire bookcases full of bird books, I believe it's fair to say that I'm not easily impressed; however, the Stokeses have done what I did not think was possible: blow me away with a field guide to birds. What I love best about the new Stokes Field Guide is the...
  2. They did it again!
    I don't know how the Stokes' do all that they do but this newest guide from them is the most comprehensive of all. The pictures are excellent showing plumage variation from different regions, seasonal differences, and the juveniles. A bonus CD comes with the book of the calls and songs of 150...

To own one's own

Kovalezhi Cheerampathoor Sankaran Paniker (May 31, 1911 to January 15, 1977) was born in Coimbatore. The indigenous aesthetic idiom reflected in his work evolved from his practice, study of art history and a response to his inclination to choose or reject an approach in style or method. This style or method may well be from the Art Historical reference and from his own experience of moving through a whole gamut of lexis while he practised. In several accounts especially written and published by Padma Jayaraj in Narthaki , this observation gains ground. She mentions that his works “carried the imprints of the water-logged landscape of Kerala, its life, arts, and philosophy when he moved out in early childhood. His career as a painter moved through three distinct periods. His early paintings, in water colours, depicted the wonders of rural Kerala. In the second phase, the rustic people with a distinctive Dravidian stamp marked his humanscape. The final segment had a visual language culled from symbols and motifs from Kerala's arts and metaphysics.”

Stokes Field Guide to the Birds of North America includes 854 species, which are all on the official website ABA Checklist. The taxonomy is relatively up-to-date, including the "new" Pacific Wren.It has not, however, to Mexican Whip-poor-will on their own account, even if it does not cover the differences between this and his ex conspecifics well.

Each account takes up half of four pages, with an average of about one. I like the track, which has the first pictures at the top of the page, making it easier to compare species. The lack of boundaries between the photos and page borders allow pictures to be larger, and gives the guidance of an attractive look....
