ITMB (Engels) € 10.50

Een degelijke kaart met aanduidingen van o.a. nationale parken, vliegveld, benzinepomp, dirt-roads en kleine plattegrond van hoofdstad. Als overzichtskaart goed te gebruiken.

The Horn of Africa has long been in turmoil, but it is a fascinating place, regardless. This new edition is as up-to-date as our researchers can make it, given that the country hasn’t had an official government for about fifteen years. The map also provides reasonable coverage for tiny Djibouti, which effectively land-locks Ethiopia. The eastern portion of the Horn, formerly known as British Somaliland, calls itself Somaliland and has effectively governed itself in a sensible fashion for the past decade – but no country recognizes its existence; printed on paper.

Reisgidsen Djibouti

Vogelgids Birds of the Horn of Africa Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia and Socotra Helm field guides (Engels) € 49.95

The Horn of Africa has the highest endemism of any region in Africa, and around 70 species are found nowhere else in the world. Many of these are confined to the isolated highlands of Ethiopia and Eritrea, but a large number of larks specialise in the arid parts of Somalia and adjoining eastern Ethiopia, whilst the island of Socotra has its own suite of endemic species. The region is also an important migration route and wintering site for many Palearctic birds. This is the first field guide to the birds of this fascinating region, and a companion to Birds of East Africa by two of the same authors. Over 200 magnificent plates by John Gale and Brian Small illustrate every species that has ever occurred in the five countries covered by the guide, and the succinct text covers the key identification criteria. Special attention is paid to the voices of the species, and over 1000 up-to-date colour distribution maps are included. This long-awaited guide is a much-needed addition to the literature on African birds and an essential companion for birders visiting the region. ... [meer info]
