Egypt’s environment loses one of its most ardent supporters: Mindy Baha el Din

Extremely saddened to hear this news today…


http://www.egyptindependent.com/news/egypt-s-environment-loses-one-its-most-ardent-supporters-mindy-baha-el-din


My colleague just saw Mindy at the Conference on the Bioarchaeology of Ancient Egypt in February. I had hoped to meet her and her husband someday, as they have done so much for Egypt’s environmental awareness with their conservation efforts and incredible publications. What a tremendous loss…

This Month’s Banner Image for AUC Press Website by Dominique Navarro

Screen Shot 2013-03-05 at 2.35.48 AM


The cropped photograph of this month’s AUC Press home page banner is from this cover image of Egypt’s Flora & Fauna by natural history artist and writer Dominique Navarro, with prominent naturalist and author Richard Hoath (AUC Press, 2013). It is part of the AUC Press Nature Foldout series.


Egypt’s Flora & Fauna is an 8-page, water-resistant and compact color guide for discovering Egypt’s exotic and mysterious wealth of wildlife, particularly suitable on weekend outings and desert trips. It includes illustrations of the country’s array of animals organized by geographical area, with their common English and Latin names, a map of Egypt with a list of its natural protectorates, a diagram with its biodiversity, and comprehensive text.


Birds of the Nile Valley by Dominique Navarro, with John Wyatt (AUC Press, 2013) is also available. This foldout is illustrated with many of the 485 species of birds found in Egypt, organized by their seasonal appearance, and also features the African-Eurasian flyway migration route, and a map of Egypt with its important bird areas.


The foldouts Ancient Egypt’s Wildlife by Dominique Navarro, with Salima Ikram, and Egypt’s Prehistoric Fauna by Dominique Navarro and Matthew Lamanna are forthcoming. To visit Navarro’s “Nature Unfolding” blog, click here.
