This early twentieth-century guide to the geography and geology,
fauna and flora of Cambridgeshire was written during a period when
natural history played a particularly prominent role in British
cultural life. The heart of the book is a comprehensive survey of
the diversity of animal life in the region, focussing particularly
on the insect orders. It also includes chapters on vertebrate
palaeontology and archaeology. Two maps show locations of discovery
of ancient skulls, as well as important ancient roads that cross
the county. There are additional botanical and geological maps. The
book provides a valuable baseline for present-day studies of
biodiversity or the effects of climate change, and will also appeal
to local enthusiasts with an interest in environmental history.
