Well a bit of search engine "tags" and you can find a lot of thinks you won't find using the search interface.

Thank you Yann! I'll ask one of my sons (or grandchildren) for some guidance in order to become fitter on the internet. I hope they will not lose patience   :)

Allez another one, i know a lot of people here visited Spain, this ebook contains an impressive amount of infos about the natural parks. Spain has the richest european flora with more than 6700 species and a huge diversity of landscapes, minerals, climates.
Enjoy, for those not reading spanish you can translate as i mentionned few posts before. You'll find maps and details.

A great identification guide for the genius Ranunculus (164p), the doc is in french but photos and dimensions are universal. :)

Morroco is another country i visited numerous times, our respective countries having very long relations, long before Charlemagne.

The following document is about the Atlas, in french.
It's great for all those who want very detailed information about sites to visit (GPS for all of them described).

It's still winter and many of us are dreaming of mountains covered with flowers, well untill late spring here's a book about La Vanoise Park. Content is in french but photos and maps will let you find the rare plants and fauna.

For those prefering the Atlantic's wind the Algarve is the portuguese region to visit. Well known from botanists and naturalists, the region has spawned numerous naturalist works. Little few with precise maps of hotspots. Here's one free, in german (188p).

News from ViraNatura Tours - New book alert🥳
"Wild Edens - the history and habitat of our most-loved garden plants "

  https://www.viranatura.com/
Chris Gardner and Toby Musgrave’s new book will be on the shelves very soon.


If you've marveled at previous Gardner books, then I think this is will be a must! I have no more details at present.

A few page examples .....

Not a gardening book but one which I have found very useful is Britains Insects, a field guide to the insects of Great Britain and Ireland, by Paul D Brock. Over 500 pages of colour photographs of insects with a description. There are many thousands of insects in Great Britain and Ireland and no single book could cover them all but this one, published in 2021, is a good start for the interested novice. Available by post. Sorry, I don,t have a printer to show the jacket illustration.

Once again we're entering the winter period and the long evenings are good for reading.
If you like the dry climate of Morocco and Mauritania this ebook is perfect for you.
