Central and Eastern European Wildlife

Gerard Gorman

2008

"The wildlife of eastern Europe is one of the unexpected attractions of a region best known for its cultural assets: relatively few visitors are aware of the diversity on their holiday doorstep, from brown bears and wolves to numerous birds no longer common in the west of the continent. Accessible and beautifully illustrated, the guide will appeal both to the holidaymaker and to the serious naturalist seeking a compact volume to carry around. And after the trip, it will also make an attractive souvenir. The guide covers the wildlife of: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kaliningrad, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia & Herzegovina."

Petra Malkova and David Lacina

2002

"Important Bird Areas in the Czech Republic describes 16 important Bird Areas and provides up-dated information about the situation at these sites. Volunteers and staff of the Czech Society for Ornithology must be congratulated for collecting and analysing this enormously valuable data on IBAs, and to present it in such an attractive package. Important Bird Areas in the Czech Republic is illustrated with numerous excellent color photos, local maps and tables with data on the respective areas."
