“Egypt’s Wildlife; Past and Present” by Dominique Navarro
Egypt’s Wildlife; Past and Present by Dominique Navarro
A handy colorful book introducing Egypt’s animals and plants.
Ancient Egypt’s temples and tombs encompass images of exotic animals, birds, and plants that are no longer found in the country today, while the fossils of dinosaurs and ancient whales reveal an extraordinary legacy from prehistoric times. Egypt’s environment has changed dramatically over millennia, and the species that have survived have made their homes in diverse terrain: deserts and mountains, the Nile Valley and sea coasts, temple ruins, and even city skies and streets. Today, Egypt’s vibrant habitats host amazing cat, canine, and bird species, exotic residents like crocodiles and bats, numerous reptiles, butterflies, and insects, and domesticated animals like the camel. Tracing the history of Egypt’s extinct species reveals an unusual timeline of geological transformations and climate change. The natural history of Egypt is often overlooked, yet invaluable to understanding Egyptology, as well as the country’s future as the environment continues to drastically change. This colorful book combines the artwork and text of four of the AUC Press Nature Foldouts: Egypt’s Flora & Fauna, Birds of the Nile Valley, Ancient Egypt’s Wildlife, and Egypt’s Prehistoric Fauna. Including striking full-color illustrations, photographs, diagrams and maps, and information from leading scientific experts, this book is a great introduction to Egypt’s unique natural history.
Egypt’s Wildlife: Past & Present English and Arabic editions are available from booksellers throughout Egypt, including those listed here.
The English edition is available from online booksellers and distributors including:

Illustrating Egypt’s Wildlife – An Article in Egypt Today Magazine
Illustrating Egypt’s Wildlife
http://egypttoday.com/blog/2016/06/14/illustrating-egypts-wildlife/
The four sides of putting together an illustrated wildlife guide in both English and Arabic. This month, I’m delighted to share The Biblio File with three other contributors to talk about the challenges associated with developing a recently published illustrated book —Egypt’s Wildlife: Past and Present.
by Nigel Fletcher-Jones, Dominique Navarro, Richard Hoath and Yasmine Motawy

The Publisher: Nigel
…when the possibility of also producing the book in Arabic presented itself, we went ahead with that too. That approach was vindicated recently, when an Egyptian visitor saw Egypt’s Wildlife, and said, “If only I had had this in school, it would have changed my life!”
The Artist: Dominique
Nature brings out the best in people, as it has for me, inspiring my artwork and providing me with passionate work that it has been a great honor to share with people in Egypt and around the world through our publications.
The Scientific Advisor: Richard
The end result is not just a great educational book in English but a groundbreaking great educational book in Arabic
The Translator: Yasmine
This book is a treasure for readers of all ages, a perfect companion on travels within Egypt and I would be thrilled to work on companion activity books and ideas for integrating it into the mainstream school curriculum.
