1. MARINE LIFE OF GALAPAGOS

Marine Life of Galapagos is a unique product. It is the first underwater booklet printed on waterproof paper to be available to the general public. It is also a more compact and economical option than many paper prodcuts that cover fewer species.

It was published in June 2008. It is designed as a compact guide for snorkelers and divers to the Galapagos Islands and covers nearly 150 species - all of the regularly-seen species of fish as well as common invertebrates, reptiles and mammals.

Measuring 100x200mm, it is the first and only guide of its kind to be printed on synthetic paper which, apart from being 100% waterproof, is markable and washable in pen or pencil. Synthetic paper is fully recyclable and contains no wood pulp.

Marine Guide to Galapagos is spiral-bound in clear plastic.

 

 

 

2. TERRESTRIAL LIFE OF GALAPAGOS

This book is a sister field guide to the successful "Marine Life of Galapagos". It includes over 200 original illustrations of all fauna species you can see (birds, reptiles, invertebrates and mammals) without getting your feet wet in a visit to the unique enchanted islands.

Measuring 100x200mm just like its sister volume, it is a more compact alternative to the products currently on the market. Terrestrial Guide to Galapagos is printed on stiff card and is spiral-bound for quick field-reference. Below is a preview of the user-friendly layout.

3. BIRDS AND COMMON MAMMALS OF ECUADORIAN AMAZON
Over 600 species of birds have been recorded at some sites in Ecuador's Amazonian lowlands. This book covers them all with over 1000 original illutrations. This complete field book shows important features for each bird like abundance, endemism and field notes.

We decided to include also around 40 species of mammals that are encountered frequently during trips to this rich region.

4. BIRDS OF NORTHWEST ECUADOR
JUST OUT !!! The area between the Andes and the Pacific coasts of northwestern Ecuador is the southern half of a bioregion we call the Chocó. The Chocó runs from sea level up through the misty valleys to the snowline. It has some of the most humid forests anywhere and, simply, it is the most diverse Endemic Bird Area in the world. More than 700 species can be found here in Ecuador’s northwest, and more than 50 of those can’t be found anywhere else.

This new book covers all the avifauna found in this part of the country, from the lowlands and foothills up to the temperate elfin forests and paramos of the Andes. It contains over 1000 (some never-before-published) illustrations. This complete
and compact field book shows important features for each bird like altitudinal range, abundance, endemism and field notes. Its size is the same super handy 20x12.5cm (8x5inches) of 44 pages just like the previous book. Over 1100 copies have been sold in only 1 month. Check a preview of the illustrations bellow.
