Indian Birds In Focus
Many of you might want to relax in the lap of nature and wants to wake up with a promising mood. However the busy schedule will keep you away from the serene ambience. In that case, take a glance at Amano Samarpan's Indian Birds In Focus.

Indian Birds In Focus is a book that will take you to water bodies, shorelines, swamps, grasslands, scrubs, deserts, woods, mountains and to human habitations through the exotic wings of photography. When the author photo cases the wonderful birds in these areas, our minds get relaxed at their beauty and the nature they live in.

Indian Birds In Focus is not only a book that consists the enticing pictures of the birds. Amano Samarpan introduces the birds in each area with thoughtful quotes. The introduction to each section gives an insight into each bird"s habitation and lifestyle. The introduction also points out the threatening factors introduced by humanity to the avian population.

Each of the photographic birds in this book comes up with a catchy caption. The index at the end of the book, which indicates the English names and the corresponding Hindi names of the birds, is really informative for a common reader. In the same manner the index indicating the scientific names and the size of the birds, is a helpful note for the ornithologists.

The only drawback that one can point out in this book is the lack of many birds that appear in South India. The photographs in this collection are exceptional. They cannot be compared for their excellence. However, just have a look at the black eagle soaring high in the background of the blue valley at Katmandu. (p.92-93). Without your awareness, your mind will be brimming with peace. Also have a look at the photograph of striated heron (p.22) for its amazing photographic skills.
