Hard Back. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st thus. The DJ omits the word Collins from the spine and the price from the inside of the front flap, the only things that differentiate it from the 'true 1st edition' and which identify it as a book club edition. Previous owner sticker and a price and date in ink to the FFEP, otherwise in thoroughly Fine condition. DJ spine colours remain very bright; a small amount of creasing at the top, otherwise also Fine. [Bernhard and Loe, 2015, Collecting the New Naturalists].

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. 1st ed. "'There are really two Britains - two different countries, their boundary a line that strikes diagonally across England from Yorkshire to Devon'. The moorlands belong to the 'region of mountains and old rocks', and the heathlands 'the newer, fertile land of the plains'. It is with the lowland heaths of Britain that Dr. Nigel Webb's book is concerned." This is a very readable book which discusses very fully the history and ecology of this essentially artificial environment which arose after cutting down the deciduous forest, and then overgrazing the land with livestock. Ironically, this man-made disaster area is now home to many valuable, rare species of plant and animal. With the similarly created uplands of Wales, Scotland and northern England, moor- and heathland is now generally regarded as the epitome of natural, untouched, wild countryside. Chapters include: 'A waste and barren land'; The basic requirements; A primeval landscape?; The influence of man; British lowland heaths; Heathland plant communities; The dynamics of heathland vegetation - patterns of change and succession; The heathers; Other heathland plants; Heathland invertebrates; Heathland vertebrates; What the future holds. Appendices give references for further reading and a list of heathland nature reserves. NO.

Book First Edition
First edition, 1986. Hardback. 223pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. Britain's lowland heaths are a vital and precious habitat, an absorbing area of study for every naturalist, with some of Britain's most appealing and endangered plants and animals (eg the Marsh Gentian, the Dartford Warbler, the Sand Lizard and Silver-studded Blue butterfly. They are the site of many of our most important Nature Reserves, and at the same time provide very accessible countryside, attracting millions of visitors each year. This is a book to enhance every heathland visit - whether you are a serious naturalist or simply want to enrich your understanding of the countryside. Nigel Webb, a leading authority on heathland ecology, tells the extraordinary story of how heathlands came to be, the influences of geology, climate, soils and man, and how plants and animals survive and function, and he does this with tremendous clarity and insight. This is a most rewarding and complete picture of the natural history of lowland heaths. Becoming increasingly scarce with the original print order being just one thousand copies. 20 colour photographs, over 100 photographs in black & white. Jacket design by Robert Gillmor. Book in near fine condition. Tiny mark to upper corners of pp46/47. Just a hint of spotting to endpapers and extreme margins of pages. Dust jacket near fine and unclipped. Only very slight colour fade to spine and faint discolouration to a narrow band around upper edges or flaps and rear panel. Very small blue biro mark against No 27 in the list of titles on rear panel. Book.
