Islands have evoked passion throughout the ages. these watery lands symbolise the eternal contrast between land and water, suggesting mystery and adventure, romanticism and beauty. the genetic isolation of islands often leads to the development of unique elements in the flora, fauna and wildlife.

This all-encompassing and engrossing book is a lyrical journey and engaging exploration of the islands that shape our imagination and our awareness. The author presents a wealth of scientific information which will be read and enjoyed by both expert and amateur alike. Illustrated with an abundance of colour photographs plus maps and tables etc. Jacket design by Robert Gillmor. Book in fine condition and unread. Dust jacket fine and unclipped.
