Natuurgids Britain Nature Travellers' Guide | Oxford University

Mooie, uitgebreide natuurgids van Groot-Brittannië met veel kleurenfoto's en tekeningen. Engelstalig.

Fabulously illustrated natural history travel guide, intended for the general reader with an interest in natural history and for the growing numbers of 'ecotourists' who want to know where to see wildlife in the countries they visit. Britain's compact scale belies the diversity of its landscapes - from sea-cliffs and rocky offshore islands, to the massifs of the Scottish Highlands, the low fenland of East Anglia, and the gentle wooded coombes of the south-west. This fabulously illustrated travel guide describes hundreds of places where these landscapes and their inhabitants can be seen at their best, all in easy reach of the discerning traveller.Essentially practical, the book first introduces the ecology, geology, and wildlife of Britain, then goes on to describe where to see its natural history at its best. There are descriptions of a selection of some 200 sites to visit, each carefully chosen to show a range of habitats and fascinating wildlife. The entries are the personal choice of the authors and are based on intensive travel and research in the region. Described sites range in size from a few to thousands of hectares, being National Parks, nature reserves, or simply common land, but all are open to the public and accessible to the ordinary visitor. Full colour throughout, this book has stunning landscape photographs, line drawings and photographs of individual animals of plants and animals, colour region and site maps, and a splendid composite painting encapsulating typical habitats and their inhabitants.
