The wildlife of central and eastern Europe is one of the unexpected
attractions of a region best known for its cultural assets - the Baltic
states have vast wet forests and peatbogs; Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria
have Europe's largest remnants of virgin forest; Hungary has the
grasslands of the Great Plain; while Romania has the incredible Danube
Delta and Croatia boasts the most fantastic archipelago in all the
Mediterranean. This new visitor's guide provides a colorful introduction
to the mammals, birds, reptiles, butterflies and other wildlife for
which the area is renowned, together with an insight into their habits
and habitats and an indication of where they are likely to be seen.
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 make a great souvenir.
