Natural Patagonia / Patagonia natural: Argentina & Chile
"A caprice of the gods of the rocks--a place of multi-colored hues and forms, greens and sands, fjords and lakes, ice and boundless snows--Patagonia is simply magical." Victoria Lichtschein starts, thus, the prologue toNatural Patagonia, by Marcelo Beccaceci, published in the United States by Pangaea. Its rich content in images of the south of Argentina and of Chile, legends and beautiful descriptions, make this work a magnificent incentive to travel this vast area of South America. --Tiempo de AventuraBeccaceci is not only devoted to endangered species. He also frequently writes travel journalism and accompanying guides for ecotourists. His third book reflects clearly this facet.Natural Patagonia, in fact, is a pleasant trip through the geological past and environments of the legendary region, by way of tight text and a hundred beautiful images. This work awakens as much the desire to pick up one's suitcases as to protect nature. --Vida Silvestre(Argentina)In hardcover, this beautiful book presents--in Spanish and English--the Patagonian region, Argentine as well as Chilean. The text describes the different Patagonian ecosystems (mountains, steppes and coasts), accompanied by abundant color photos. This book, that seems very well suited for foreign tourists who pass through Patagonia, has the double objective of being a source of information on Patagonian natural history and a beautiful collection of photographs that each reader can carry to remember. --Aire y Sol
