The Northern Mariner
'MacAulay's book is strongly marked by his love of his country, its landscape, its people, and its boats. That certainly does him credit. And so does the pragmatic piece of advivce that completes his conclusion: "Never be long upon the sea in autumn by your own will."'
Product Description
This is a natural history of the islands in the Outer Hebrides - Lewis, Harris, the Uists and Benbecula and Barra, with their outlying islets. This, the first of three volumes, gives an account of Hebridean geology, landforms and climate, followed by a resume of findings on glaciation in the region. The chapters on coastal development and erosion contain newly-researched material, and the volume concludes with a chapter on climate and soils.
