Description

Wild Isles is a beautifully illustrated overview of the wildlife of the British Isles, showcasing the diversity of plant and animal life on a relatively modest collection of islands. Despite their northerly latitude, these islands are home to some of the most diverse, beautiful, and wildlife-rich landscapes and seas on the planet. The book explores the fascinating relationships within and between species that make their home on these islands, focusing on five breathtaking sections that delve into the unique ecosystems and interrelations found in grasslands, water meadows, woodlands, streams, and the surrounding sea. From the insect, bird, and mammal life that thrives in these human-shaped landscapes to the ancient forests and trees that remain, this book reveals the rich biodiversity of the British Isles.
