Features more than 878 colour photographs, illustrations and maps. Provides a lavishly illustrated introduction to many of Japan's common and iconic mammals and birds. Takes readers on a naturalist's journey to the key areas of Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku and Nansei Shoto, as well as the Izu, Ogasawara and Iwo islands.
