Описание: `Bugs Britannica`, a companion volume to the bestselling classics `Flora Britannica` and `Birds Britannica`, is structured along a roughly evolving path, from simple cell life-forms - amoeba, worms, crustaceans - to bugs we all might recognise - spiders, butterflies, bees - and back into the water to meet molluscs and `almost-fish`. The book works so triumphantly because Peter Marren and Richard Mabey have examined bugs in the dusty corners of our houses and gardens as well as traversing mountains, lakes and fields. In addition to the fascinating habits of the bug world they have also included the eccentric behaviour of the bug obsessives themselves.

Описание: Ever since the first human settlements 10,000 years ago, weeds have dogged our footsteps. They are there as the punishment of `thorns and thistles` in "Genesis" and, two millennia later, as a symbol of "Flanders Field". The author examines how we have tried to define them, explain their persistence, and draw moral lessons from them.

Описание: Beech trees reached Britain about 8,000 years ago, and they were workhorses, not ornaments - fuel for Rome`s glassworks; firewood for London; and, oars for the ships of Venice. This title covers Europe as well as Britain, and history and natural history.

Описание: Another magnificent achievement, the product of 8 years of research, and a unique work of huge importance - this handsome, easy-to-read, comprehensive cultural study, species by species, of all the birds in Britain is neither an identification guide nor a behavioural study (though both these subjects enter its field). It covers cultural links; social history; ecology; the lore and language of birds; myths; art, literature and music; anecdotes, birdsong and rare facts; migration, the seasons and our sense of place. An attempt to describe the interaction of birds and humans, it captures the essence of why birds matter. Companion volume to `Flora Britannica`.
