Edition 1:
`...the long-needed descriptive account of the vegetation of Egypt...Egypt has a particularly interesting mix of plant life, and the communities in which species are assembled aare therefore of great interest to plant geographers and phytosociologists. Zharan and Willis...have divided the country into geographical regions...Within each of these areas the reader is provided with relevant information on geology, physiography, climate and land-use history before embarking on the vegetation itself, and this greatly enhances the value of the work for general travellers interested in botany and ecology...They have clearly done extensive field work and are acutely familiar with what seems like every corner of this large country...it is this kind of detail which makes the book valuable as a basis for the further development of national conservation policy.'
Nature
`The book is well-structured, which makes it readable and useful for research workers interested in pursuing studies on the ecology of plant life in Egypt.'
The Geographical Journal
`...an easily digestible yet flowing style, is a useful reference work...is a welcome addition.'
