* KOOPMAN, E. - Landenreeks Venezuela, uitg. KIT Publ., (2008), ISBN 9789068324709, paperback, 128 blz., €14,50
De Landenreeks geeft een toegankelijk beeld van waar het in een land nu werkelijk om draait. Zonder in clichés te vervallen, schetst de reeks het gewone en het bijzondere van een land, geeft het boek veel sociaaleconomische achtergrondinformatie en legt ook het karakteristieke van zijn bevolking bloot.
* MADDICKS, Russell - Venezuela, uitg.: Bradt Travel Guides (5e ed.jan.2011), ISBN 9781841622996, paperback, 448 blz., bevat 53 kaarten en plattegronden, €24,80
Venezuela occasionally features in world news in connection with its rich oil resources, its obsession with beauty pageants, its outspoken and colourful president, Hugo Chávez, or the world's highest waterfall - and little else. However, beyond the headlines, this beautiful and diverse country has so much more to offer to all types of visitors - hiking the 'Lost World' landscape of Conan Doyle, piranha-fishing from dugout canoes, paragliding from Andean peaks and windsurfing on Margarita Island. Taking travellers to the wildest of fiestas, inside the steamiest salsa bars and introducing visitors to the quirkiest of local customs, Bradt's Venezuela leads tourists from the Caribbean coast to the southern tropical wilderness, delving into the culture and eccentricities of the country more deeply than any other guide: A stronger focus on ecotourism and wildlife watching than any other guide. Packed with information on tailor-made tours, from jungle river canoe trips to horse-riding with cowboys on the vast Los Llanos plains. Emphasis on responsible tourism, highlighting Merida's successful Mucuposadas scheme.

* HILTY, Steven - Birds of Venezuela, uitg.: Christopher Helm [Series: Helm Field Guides] (2002), ISBN 9780713664188, paperback, 896 blz., €59,50
Birds of Venezuela is a field handbook covering one of the most bird-rich countries in the world. Over 1300 species are described and illustrated in this book, which is a completely reworked new edition of the classic Princeton title A Guide to the Birds of Venezuela, first published in 1978. The text of that book has been replaced with a fully updated, brand new text by a new author. Of the 67 plates, 27 are completely new, and the book as a whole is over twice the length of its predecessor. Unlike the earlier title, this guide includes an accurate distribution map for every species, using shading for wide-ranging species and locality dots for rarer birds.
* LENTINO, Miguel & Robin Restall, and Clemencia Rodner - Birds of Northern South America: An Identification Guide [Helm Field Guides], uitg.: Christopher Helm, ISBN 9780713672435, paperback, 656 blz., bevat 306 kleurenplaten en ruim 2300 kaartjes, €57,90
This is the first comprehensive field guide dealing exclusively with the birds of this region. It covers all the species, including vagrants, found in Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. Over 2,250 species are accurately illustrated with a total of 6,000 images. Concise caption text appears on the plates and distribution maps appear opposite the plates. This authoritative book will not only be an indispensable guide to the visiting birder, but also a vital tool for those engaged in work to conserve and study the avifauna of this region, which is of such importance to both the indigenous species and those which pass through on migration. > A companion to Birds of Northern South America: Identification, Distribution and Taxonomy.
