Orkney Nature

Orkney is home to a wealth of British - and indeed European - populations, with some of the most spectacular and accessible breeding colonies in north-west Europe. Orkney Nature is a long-overdue account of the natural history of the Orkney archipelago. Providing a description of the natural and human influences which have moulded and continue to shape the islands, the book provides a comprehensive review of the published works on the biology and landscape history of the islands. Such a timely book, on this previously neglected area will entertain and educate both casual readers and specialists.
