Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Potts explores how mankind and partridges have evolved together, both ultimately dependent on grasslands rather than forests. For thousands of years, both ate grass seeds and this continued until cereals largely replaced them. Hundreds of species of plant and insect that partridges and ot…her birds eat thrived on farms for thousands of years until the dawn of the pesticides era. Since then the long decline in partridge abundance has been a barometer for biodiversity over vast swathes of the Northern Hemisphere. Highlighting the positive example of the Norfolk Estate in the Sussex Study area, Potts investigates how both Grey and Red-legged Partridge numbers have been increased, flourishing in a highly productive and profitable system of farming and an oasis in what has often looked and sounded like a desert. In a small corner of England farmland wildlife is able to thrive much as it did before pesticides were introduced. This is a complex and fascinating story. The way that hunting, farming, predation, parasites, disease and climate change have interacted tells us a lot about how lesser known species have fared and how they can be conserved for the future. Potts stresses the importance of these conservation efforts, as farmers respond to the needs of an extra three billion people worldwide, not just for food but for bio-fuels. Additionally, the pressures on farmland wildlife will further intensify in the coming years.

Ppxii,465 + 2pp list of NN titles. Colour photographs, distribution maps, charts, 57 page bibliography. Green buckram, spine titled in gilt. Mint new copy in dust-w…rapper. "Globally, there are at least 45 species of game bird that have the word partridge in their name, but in this book G. R. Potts devotes himself to the Grey, Red-legged and Chukar Partridges, with particular emphasis on the Grey Partridge due to its well-known decline in Britain. In this groundbreaking addition to the New Naturalist series, Potts explores how mankind and partridges have evolved together, both ultimately dependent on grasslands rather than forests. For thousands of years, both ate grass seeds and this continued until cereals largely replaced them. Hundreds of species of plant and insect that partridges and other birds eat thrived on farms for thousands of years until the dawn of the pesticides era.

In a small corner of England, farmland wildlife is able to thrive much as it did before pesticides were introduced." This is a superb book, interesting not only for those interested in the partridge, but for anyone even slightly interested in ecology, agriculture and birds. A model for any natural history monograph. .

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Book Condition — As New: An unread, unused book in perfect condition. The dust jacket is pristine, free from blemishes or tears. Hardcover binding remains mint. Clean text block with crisp page edges. Pages are tightly bound, clean and tidy throughout, never thumbed or… opened. First edition, New Naturalist Library, Book 121. A specialist work on game birds, valued for its detailed observation and as a representative example of early twentieth-century British sporting and natural history writing. Partridges by G. R. Potts is a focused and authoritative study of one of Britain's most emblematic game birds, combining natural history with practical sporting knowledge. Written in a clear, observant style, the book reflects the period's deep interest in field sports, conservation, and rural life, offering insight into partridge behavior, habitat, and management. As a dedicated monograph rather than a general survey, it holds particular appeal for collectors of sporting literature, ornithology, and countryside writing, as well as for readers drawn to traditional British natural history.
