Egypt's Flora and Fauna: An AUC Press Nature Foldout

Besides its archaeological treasures, Egypt is also home to an exotic and mysterious wealth of wildlife, hiding at times in its temples and tombs, its deserts and oases. The Nile nourishes an array of habitats, flora, and fauna often overlooked by the archaeologically curious tourist. This full-color foldout guide introduces an exciting array of animals and plants, from river wetland residents to desert survivors. Each AUC Press Nature foldout is compact yet dense with gorgeous illustrations and beautifully written text. The series introduces adults and children alike to a plethora of wonderful information, enlightening tourists considering traveling to Egypt, the child learning about the natural heritage of another country, or the Egyptologist identifying animal species in hieroglyphs. With scientific consultant and leading naturalist in Egypt, Richard Hoath. Printed in Egypt.
