Item description from seller

En cartoné, ilustraciones, fotografías y mapas, 224 pgs. Majorca’s magnificent scenery is not only easily accessible, but offers a wide variety of habitats for plant and animal life.

They are additionally within easy reach of modem hotels, some of which specialise in catering for the visiting naturalist. This book provides a clear and informed introduction to the flowering and nonflowering plants, insects, mammals and birds, with the necessary information on the island’s geology and climate, on seasonal variations and on the localities for watching particular species. Among ornithologists, Majorca is a popular holiday centre for observing spring migration through the Mediterranean and the amazing variety of magnificent birds of prey. The local insect life and its ecology are as yet too little explored, and the plant life again is rich and varied. Birds, and rare plants, are urgently in need of conservation measures, in view of the ever-expanding tourist trade; the relationship between man and wildlife offers much for the naturalist to study. This is the first account of Majorca’s natural history for many years, and incorporates recent observations with the best work of European scientists.…
