Synopsis :

An illustrated traveller's companion to the wildife of the Antarctic wilderness written by TV naturalist Tony Soper. Species identification is aided by a range of drawings by Dafila Scott.

Présentation de l'éditeur: Bradt's fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on regions of the world particularly celebrated for their amazing and often unique species. With spectacular photography or exclusive watercolour drawings throughout, each visitors' guide provides an introduction to the region's principal flora and fauna alongside suggested wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to go and what to take, and photography tips. Written in a deliberately engaging way, they offer something different from dry field guides, and will appeal to the interested layman as much as the wildlife devotee. Ideal as a lightweight companion to any wildlife trip they also make a handsome souvenir.
A superbly illustrated and attractive new edition of this traveller's companion to the wildlife of the Antarctic wilderness. Dafila Scott's illustrations provide the perfect accompaniment to naturalist Tony Soper's immaculate text. This guide provides full coverage of plumage and identification, breeding and nesting, feeding and the best locations to observe the varied species to be found in Antarctica.
* Illustrated in full colour throughout with specially commissioned watercolour paintings * Authoritative writing by TV naturalist Tony Soper * Species identification, behaviour and habitats and conservation guidelines for visitors * History of discovery and exploration
