1.A Guide to the Birds of PanamaA Guide to the Birds of Panama
from Princeton University Press
Price: $32.97

Customer Review:
It remains the only guide specific to the birds of Panama so a birder headed to that country has almost no choice but to buy a copy. However, this is a 1989 update to a work originally completed in 1974 and it is sorely lacking many features that are incorporated into the "modern" field guides... more info

2.The Costa Rica Reader: History, Culture, Politics (Latin America Readers)The Costa Rica Reader: History, Culture, Politics (Latin America Readers)
from Duke University Press
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
Rarely does an anthology of original documents of historical value mingled with insightful interpretative essays come together as a coherent work. Steven Palmer and Iván Molina, against those odds, have put the ball in the back of the net with just such a book.
THE COSTA RICA READER'S... more info

3.Costa Rican Natural HistoryCosta Rican Natural History
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $39.06

Customer Review:
This book has detailed information about many of the plants and animals one might encounter in Central America. No color pictures, but many black and whites. Book is probably too large and heavy to carry in the field, but is exactly what I was looking for to learn new and obscure facts to impress... more info

4.The Ticos: Culture and Social Change in Costa RicaThe Ticos: Culture and Social Change in Costa Rica
from Lynne Rienner Publishers
Price: $17.95

Customer Review:
My wife was all set to retire to Costa Rica before she read "The Ticos".
Now however she is more hesitant. From that I conclude that maybe the
book is too honest and tells too much. (Warts and all).
Anyway, we were going to go and see for ourselves what we find. Thanks for making... more info

from Pixyjack Press
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
I have to tell you that this was one of the very best nature books I have read in a long time. It has great stories, it is super-engaging, and it has a wonderful yet not overpowering environmental message.

Customer Review:
I purchased this bird guide among others prior to taking a summer birding tour in Costa Rica. I found it a little helpful to study the photos of the birds prior to the trip, but after a few days I put it away to continue study of the full field guide, The Birds of Costa Rica, a field guide by... more info

10.A Guide to Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa RicaA Guide to Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica
from Zona Tropical Publications

Customer Review:
What I liked best about this book was the detailed descriptions offered in such a compact book. It is far more managable than Savage's book.
However as a 'field guide' I found this book really lacking. The photographs are often dark and taken very nonprofessionally. Also has a poor index.... more info
