Originally published in 1990, The Biogeography of the British Isles
is devoted to the biogeography of the British Isles and surrounding
shelf seas. Bringing together a wealth of diverse information, it
is thoroughly referenced and well illustrated, and will be
invaluable to students of geography, environmental science,
ecology, botany, and zoology. The book traces the development of
British biogeography over the last two centuries, examining key
topics such as ecosystems, habitats, and niches in the context of
plant and animal distribution. The book gives a detailed account of
the development of biogeographical mapping and recording systems,
and describes modern-day distributions, both in the countryside and
in urban areas against the backcloth of human activities.
Anyone who owns a fibreglass boat (GRP or FRP, yacht or dinghy)
knows that it can get damaged in the rough and tumble of everyday
use. Sometimes the damage is serious enough to warrant a
professional repair (which the insurance company will probably pay
for). But at other times it is more minor, and you might want to
repair it yourself. But how do you repair it, so you can't see the
repair - get that really professional-looking finish? If you've
ever asked that question, then this is the book for you. Long-term
boat repairer, Pete Vincent, shares the trade secrets of making a
lasting, strong and invisible repair. Penni Vincent, who does not
share Pete's experience, got him to explain it to her and together
they have created this book - written by an expert, but
understandable by a novice. They take you through the equipment,
tools and materials you need and then explain the 8 stages of a
glass fibre repair job: from the vital initial preparation to the
final polish. This is followed by a step-by-step guide to making
different repairs including small nicks, scratches and scuffs,
star-crazing and deeper areas requiring fibreglassing. They also
cover repairing deck / hull joints, non-slip surfaces, moving
fittings and leak testing and repair. Given that the first bit of
advice is that you need to make the damage worse before repairing
it, it is reassuring to be able to follow the steps that they
outline, amply illustrated by many photographs and diagrams.
Splash-proof and spiral bound - allowing you to lay it out flat
beside your repair - this little book will be a valued companion as
you set about repairing your boat.

A comprehensive overview of Saudi Arabia's environment, this volume
is a unique and authoritative text on the geological and
environmental aspects of Saudi Arabia, a country about which little
is known by the outside world. Saudi Arabia is a fascinating
country with a long tradition of environmental awareness and
sensitivity, pitted against some of the harshest environments on
earth. The book brings together a wide range of published and
unpublished material which will be of interest to environmental
scientists, geologists, geographers and biologists. A comprehensive
bibliography is included. This book will be indispensable for
university courses dealing with the Middle East and arid zone
environments as well as various regional/environmental courses.
