El Pirineo es un lugar visitado cada vez más por los amantes de la naturaleza que disfrutan de su paisaje salvaje, y de la gran cantidad y variedad de animales y plantas que viven allí. Pocos lugares en Europa cuentan con una riqueza de aves tan extraordinaria como la cordillera Pirenaica. Esto se debe a que en esta cordillera encontramos una gran cantidad de paisajes y climas diferentes, y a que su estado de conservación es muy bueno. Aquí viven aves que se han adaptado a un clima tan duro y frío como es el Pirineo y aves que se han adaptado al cálido clima Mediterráneo con sus inviernos tan suaves. Más de la mitad de su superficie se considera "área importante para las aves" a nivel Europeo y debería ser protegida. De hecho, la mayor parte de estas "áreas importantes" cuenta con algún tipo de protección. The Pyrenees is a place visited by an increasing number of nature lovers who enjoy its wild landscape and the large number and variety of animals and plants that live there. Few places in Europe have such an extraordinary wealth of birds. Here live birds that have adapted to a climate so hard and cold as the Pyrenees as well as birds which have adapted to the warm Mediterranean climate with mild winters. More than half of its surface is considered "important bird areas" at European level and should be protected. In fact, most of these "important areas" have some protection. 180 pp., num. figs, br. gr. 8.…

Andalucía is a region of contrast. There are wild mountains and extensive marshes, dry semi-desert and barren karst, but also leafy woodlands laced with murmuring streams. The biodiversity is the highest of any of the Spanish regions. Andalucía is the stronghold of the endangered Iberian Lynx. Herds of wild Ibex roam the mountains and large numbers of vultures and eagles nest on remote, precipitous cliffs. Rare, endemic plants grow in the dry riverbeds in the Desierto and numerous butterflies grace the boulder-strewn heights of the Sierra Nevada. Andalucía is too large and diverse to do it justice in a single guidebook. This book covers the eastern half roughly the provinces of Córdoba, Jaen, Granada and Almería. Like all other Crossbill Guides, it answers two questions: What makes this area so special, and how you can see this for yourself. The book describes the flora and fauna, landscape and traditional land use of this region, plus 18 detailed routes and 28 sites covering Sierra Nevada, Sierra de Cazorla, Sierra de Andújar, Cabo de Gata and Desierto de Tabernas, to name a few, with concrete indications on where and how to find the birds, wildlife and flora.

The emerald island of Madeira lies 800 km out of the coast at the same latitude as northern Morocco. The ocean's trade winds make it a spectacularly green and damp island, especially on the steep north slopes. Madeira is a hotspot of endemic species, especially flowers.

Add to this a spectacular scenery, excellent opportunities for walking and lots of unique birds and butterflies and the picture of a naturalists' dream island is complete. And that's just the land.
