Product Description

Review

This is a gigantic work in all respects and will become the standard reference work for all those whose work brings them into contact with Britain's flora ... pretty good value for money. Biological Conservation ... a masterpiece of co-ordination and a publication that will provide the benchmark reference work for botanical recording for the foreseeable future. Biological Conservation Magnificent, go and buy a copy before they sell out! ... The maps which make up the bulk of this Atlas are truly stunning ... The authors and their team have made a lasting contribution to the understanding of our flora here on the edge of the Atlantic that will act as the source of many more studies that can examine the effects of climate and habitat management change over the past and future 50 years. Natur Cymru, A Review of Wildlife in Wales This wonderful annotated Atlas of the British and Irish Flora is the culmination of 12 years work ... a tome to be proud of ... beautifully produced. Botanical Society of Scotland News A huge book, a marvellous book, the sort of definitive book that we can dip into again and again, over future years ... This huge book is a treat, especially if you ever get the time to get through it all. But it will be years and years before it is ever up-dated, so if you can afford it, go for it. the News Letter, Northern Ireland A milestone in wildlife publishing. Wicklow People The authoritative and indispensable statement on the current distribution of the flowering plants and ferns of Britain and Ireland ... Succinct and informative interpretative text accompanies each map ... absorbing, stimulating, educational and a fantastic compilation on which to continue building our knowledge of the flora. British Wildlife The New Atlas will be of value far beyond the field botanical community, especially in helping to direct government policy on the environment, reaction to climate change and meeting international obligations on the global conservation and substainable use of biodiversity. Plant Talk This is a book for long-term browsing, full of glimpses into the shifting kingdom of our wild plant families. Irish Times
