4.0 out of 5 stars In the field this is the only book you need. 8 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
This book does not cover every species you are likely to encounter but it gives a good 'taster' of most. It covers a wide range from amphibians to insects and is indispensable for those enquiring minds. The photographs are excellent and the book is very portable and user friendly. I would recommend to anybody with a general interest in the wildlife of this area.

Format:Paperback
A very good general book on the natural history of Mediterranean Wildlife. Specialists botanical books are available for individual Greek islands and worth looking at, especially for the island of Crete.

I was really pleased with this book. It probably isn't totally comprehensive but it is good enough for what I wanted - a gift to a friend who lives in Italy for part of the year.
