Armenia: With Nagorno Karabagh

Nicholas Holding

2011

"Armenia is in many ways an enigma: a strongly Christian country yet ruled for most of the last 2,000 years by outsiders who were not Christian; a country where the symbol of Mount Ararat is omnipresent even though the biblical mountain is now in Turkey; a country where the cooking is Middle Eastern but the street life southern European. Bradt's Armenia guides you to the country's many monasteries, Selim caravanserai, the field of 900 intricately carved cross-stones at Noratus, the petroglyphs of Mount Ishkhanasar and the museums and markets of Yerevan. There is extensive information about natural history and the arts as well all the practical information needed to explore this fascinating country."

Lexo Gavashelishvili

2002

"Describes 4 species of vultures - Egyptian Vulture, Griffin Vulture, Cinereous Vulture and Lammergeier - providing comprehensive information on their biology, ecology, distribution, habitats and conservation management in Georgia and Caucasus. The book is illustrated with original high quality colour photographs, and maps from satellite telemetry studies."

Handbook of the Birds of Armenia

Martin S. Adamian and Daniel Klem Jr

1999

"This superb handbook (which has an extraordinarily detailed map of Armenia shrink-wrapped with the book) is a model of its kind, documenting all available data on birds occurring within the borders of the Republic of Armenia. The content of the book serves as an essential reference that can form the basis of a national program to effectively protect, maintain, and where possible, restore the nation's bird life. The handbook also identifies species of special concern within Armenia, covering threatened, undetermined, and extirpated species in the country, such as Black Stork, Little Bustard and White-winged Scoter."

A Field Guide to the Birds of Armenia

Martin S. Adamian and Daniel Klem Jr

American University of Armenia

1997

"A Field Guide to Birds of Armenia clearly and effectively documents the bird life of a region largely unknown in the West but richly endowed with biological and cultural diversity. Here an international team of expert ornithologists shines the international spotlight on the fascinating birds of Armenia in one of the world's newest and very best regional field guides.The authors and their expert collaborators describe the beauty and pleasure of Armenian birds and their diverse habitats. No other work offers such effective descriptions of Armenian birds. The detailed knowledge of species distributions and relative abundances will promote and ensure wise stewardship of birds as a valuable Armenian natural resource. An especially valuable contribution is the identification of species that are suspected or known to be at risk. Highlighting these species of special concern will encourage Armenian as well as international conservation efforts to maintain and,when appropriate, rebuild viable populations to these lands."
