The Peak District, Britain's first national park, is a land of
great natural beauty, visited by millions of people every year.
This New Naturalist volume on the region highlights the wonder and
magic of its windswept vistas, rock formations, storied history and
fantastic wildlife, revealing its ecological foundations, showing
how it has fared over the centuries and projecting what the future
might hold. As a botanist and ecologist who has spent her working
life in the Peak District, Penny Anderson brings an ecological
perspective, viewing the habitats and their species as an
interconnected whole linked to the development of the landscape
through its geology and geomorphological processes, while
simultaneously weaving in human history and local myths and legends
to bring to life the evolution of the area. The Peak District is a
special place at an ecological crossroads where many northern and
southern species meet. It has splendidly rich wildlife, varied
ecosystems and a long history of human interaction with the land,
and this book gives a flavour of its diversity and value.
