Wild Things is a brand new Channel 4 show that will bring botany to a whole new audience. This groundbreaking & informative programme will uncover the mysteries behind the dramatic changes in the distribution of wild plants in Britain over the last fifty years & will show how these changes affect biodiversity on a local & national scale. Did you know for example that our national tipple the gin & tonic could be under threat? Juniper bushes are disappearing in much of England & Wales
- but in Scotland it's a different story. The Wild Things will tell you the reasons for this development. This attractive illustrated book will examine the stories behind the redistribution of our plants in a variety of habitats including woodland mountains & wetlands. It will include stunning colour photographs of the plants in their native environments & will use maps from the Botanical Society of the British Isles to illustrate the striking contrast of our landscape between the present day & fifty years ago. This fascinating guide written by the botanists who present the Wild Things programme will inspire everyone to look at the world around them in a completely new way.
