Arrow Bird Guide
Description
Book Introduction
A reliable birdwatcher's companion, a truly easy and convenient bird guide.
『Arrow Bird Atlas』 is an atlas that contains 357 species of birds that can be seen in Korea, and selects 241 representative species to provide detailed descriptions of their appearance and characteristics.
The most notable feature of this book is that it uses arrows to indicate the points of species differentiation.
It points out things that would otherwise be long in words and writing, as if pointing them out with one's hand.
Rather than following an academic classification system, the author categorizes and organizes the birds according to criteria that anyone can understand, such as whether the bird he encountered was floating in the water, wandering near the water's edge, and whether it was larger or smaller than a pigeon or sparrow.
Under this major classification, similar-looking species were grouped into 29 groups, and each species was described.
If you use the search tables 'Find Mountain Birds' and 'Find Water Birds' together, you will be able to find the bird you are curious about more quickly.

Publisher's Review
It's a truly practical guide that's simple yet informative, small enough to hold in one hand, yet has refreshing photos, and lets you get the gist straight into your head without a single difficult expression.
With just this one book, you'll have nothing to worry about when you go bird watching.
An easy and clear classification method
We did not prioritize an academic classification system in classifying birds and organizing content.
I classified the birds I encountered according to criteria that anyone can recognize, such as whether they were floating in the water, loitering near the water's edge, larger or smaller than a pigeon, or larger or smaller than a sparrow.
Under this major classification, similar-looking species were grouped into 29 groups, and each species was described.
If you happen to come across a bird, it will most likely belong to one of these 29 groups.
Additionally, you can find the bird you are curious about more quickly by using the search tables, ‘Find Mountain Birds’ and ‘Find Water Birds’.
A small and strong book with a full stomach like a chestnut
It's small enough to be carried around without feeling cumbersome, but it's packed full of space without any wasted space.
I made the photos as large as possible with minimal margins, and I used arrows to point out features and condense long descriptions.
Not only can you clearly see the characteristics of each species, but you can also enjoy the fun of turning each page and appreciating the various expressions and moments of life of the 357 species.
Another unique feature of this book is that it helps readers understand the ecology of birds by providing detailed explanations of the habits and characteristics of 29 groups of birds with similar appearances.
It also provides a wealth of reading material beyond the framework of an encyclopedia focused on identifying species.
