Books Outdoor Books This beautifully illustrated overview of the wildlife of the British Isles showcases the diversity of our plant & animal life. Wild Isles is a celebration of the wildlife found on a relatively modest collection of islands positioned at a latitude so northerly to be unattractive to many animals & plants. Despite these unpromising foundations, the islands of Britain & Irel&, together with more than 6, 000 lesser islets that make up our archipelago, contain some of the most diverse, beautiful & wildlife-rich landscapes & seas on our planet. Each chapter focuses on a particular kind of wild space. Britain & Ireland are dominated by a wide variety of grasslands from lowland water meadows to upland moors, & we will see how these human-shaped, semi-natural landscapes thrum with insect, bird & mammal life. Life requires water to flourish, & streams & rivers carry freshwater through our landscape, creating unique ecosystems & interrelations within & besides these waters, which are revealed in a third section. While Britain & Ireland's woodlands are comparatively thin on the ground compared with most of continental Europe, we will see some of the forests & trees that remain are unusually ancient &, great repositories of life. Finally, of course, we are surrounded by sea, & our position on the continental shelf before it plunges into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean gives rise to an often overlooked plenty of marine life. A glorious richness is divided into five breathtaking sections.   Product Information:  •†ISBN:† 9780008359317 •†Author: Patrick Barkham & Alastair Fothergill •†Publisher:†  Harper Collins Publishers •†Format:†  Hardback •†Pages:† 320 •†Dimensions:† 28.6 x 22.6 x 2.6 cm ...
