The book examines the history and ecology of each of the main habitat, and gives an in-depth treatment of the rich variety of flora and fauna to be foun dliving there. Over 200 illustrations convey the diverse beauty of the Irish landscape, its wildlife and physical features.

Drawing on his vast experience as an environmental policy advisor, the author also addresses the topical issue of nature conservation, examining both the history of the conservation movement in Ireland – its successes and failures – and the needs for the future.

David Cabot’s book pays tribute to Ireland’s long and proud tradition of natural history, and comes as a welcome addition to the other regional works in the New Naturalist series.
