DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the first comprehensive reference book on the birds of Egypt. It draws on an extensive body of literature and unpublished reports, and is intended for professional ornithologists, bird-watchers, or anyone interested in the natural history of Egypt. Introductory sections discuss the history of Egyptian ornithology, geography, biotic communities, hunting, conservation, and changes in the environment. The main body of the text describes the breeding distributions and seasons, movements, and migratory routes of the 421 species known from the country. The book is illustrated by range maps of most of the breeding species, numerous maps of the origins of Eurasian migrants occurring in Egypt, and six paintings. Official and regional Egyptian bird names are published for the first time both in Arabic script and transliterated form. A gazetteer of all localities mentioned in the text, an extensive bibliography, and indexes are included. This is certain to remain the standard reference work on the birds of Egypt for some time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in its English translation during World War II in 1944, the first part of this book is composed of lectures originally delivered (in German) during the pre-war period, whilst the second part of the book represents author Franz Werfel’s present point of view, arriving at the difficult conclusion that “complete human detachment is the first psychological symptom of spirituality...” “The outstanding contribution of this book is its frank rejection of the materialistic philosophy and an emphasis in favor of the spiritual interpretation of life. There are beautiful passages written with characteristic artistry.”—Kirkus Review
