Description:
London: William Collins 2014. 8vo. 432 pp., illustrated. Still shrinkwrapped. The first comprehensive book to be published about the wildlife of the Brecon Beacons. It reveals the natural wonders of this seemingly wild and inhospitable mountain landscape.

This variety supports thousands of species, some of which are found nowhere else on Earth. The natural history of the Brecon Beacons is like most parts of the British Isles, inextricably linked to the activities of man across many thousand years. Jonathan Mullard explores the evolving landscape and observes its effects on its native species and habitats.
