Nationalnycklen till Sveriges Flora och Fauna
The National Encyclopedia to Swedens Flora and Fauna
________________________________________________________________
This series is the most ambitious natural history book project ever launched and will treat all known species of animals and plants from Sweden. Until further the volumes will also treat species from Finland, Denmark, Norway and Iceland. At the moment somewhat less than 60,000 species of organisms are known, from which more than half are insects. The series is planned to be published in about 120 volumes over the coming 20-25 years. Each volume is authored by leading experts, and the series is published with heavy subsidies from the Swedish parliament over the whole publishing period. This is the reason why the volumes can be sold at very moderate prices.
The 50,000 species which can be identified without highly advanced equipment will be described in detail, including information on distribution and biology. For most of them, distribution maps as well as illustrations e.g. watercolours will also be provided. The groups containing the remaining 10,000 species will be presented down to a suitable taxonomic level (e.g. families), with the species presented as checklists.The text is in Swedish, but for each species, key facts (summary) will be given in English. The many high quality illustrations, distribution maps and illustrated identification keys in both Swedish and English makes the series valuable for an international audience. For many insect groups, hardly any European identification literature is available, and therefore this Encyclopedia should especially be most important for anyone with an interest in European insects.
A great number of authors are needed to complete The Encyclopedia of Swedens Flora and Fauna. Texts will written by senior scientists and other species experts. Several species groups will often be included in one volume. If an author is not a professional taxonomist, he or she will co-operate with either domestic or international taxonomic experts.
