This stunning new Poyser title looks at the flora and fauna of
Lapland - that area of northern Europe and northwestern Russia which
lies within the Arctic circle. After general introductions, the book
examines the Lapland ecosystems and species by habitat type, with one
chapter dealing with freshwater habitats, another with open tundra and
so on. The history of natural history study in the region, and the
conservation issues affecting it today, are also discussed.
The book is illustrated throughout with a wealth of the author's own
colour photographs, and there are also some line drawings and a number
of maps and other figures to illustrate key points. This is a
wonderfully evocative book which creates a vivid sense of place for one
of the planet's last wildernesses, and will appeal to anyone who loves
wildlife and wild places.
"A rare window onto one of Europe's most unspoiled areas, by the
outstanding British field naturalist of the late 20th century." The Independent
"An informative and easy-to-read text on a part of the natural world unfamiliar to many. It is a fascinating, enjoyable book." Wildlife Activist, Summer 2006
