About the book >.>.> In recent years there has been growing interest in the birds of Egypt and much new research has been done. The new information is here synthesized and incorporated with a critical review of earlier knowledge. The species found in the area, both resident and migrat-ory, are surveyed and details are given of their occurrence, distribution, and breeding patterns. Much of the information is not readily available elsewhere, and some of it has not been published before. The subject is set in its historical context and the long history of Egyptian ornithology, which stretches back to the Predynastic Period (4500-3000 BC), is outlined. Changes in the environ-ment and their effects on the avifauna are considered along with the effects of hunting and of conservation and protection. Other sections include tabulations of official and regional Egyptian bird names, a gazetteer, and a bibliography. The text is extensively illustrated with regional locality maps, breeding bird maps, six paintings in full colour, and other diagrams.
