Plants and Habitats combines the species and habitat approaches to
plants and vegetation. Most of it is an identification guide to 700
plant species selected as those which are common, conspicuous or
useful ecological indicators; species which collectively make up
most of the vegetation in Britain and Ireland. There is also a
separate habitats section describing the flora, ecology and
management of habitats. With this combination of approaches Plants
and Habitats aims to help people understand our vegetation at all
scales, from individual plants to whole landscapes. The structure
and plain English writing style are designed to help with species
identification by non-specialists.Plants and Habitats is
illustrated throughout with colour photos and some line drawings.
For those working with habitat classifications, National Vegetation
Classification (NVC) codes are incorporated throughout and there
are summary tables cross-referencing various classifications. The
book is written for a wide readership including those working or
training in subjects connected with ecology, conservation, land
management, and other environmental matters.

Set one hundred years before the events in George R.R. Martin's
epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Sworn Sword
graphic novel follows the adventures of Ser Duncan and his squire,
Egg, as they quest for honor and glory in the Seven Kingdoms. After
the deaths, surprises, and heroics in The Hedge Knight, Dunk and
Egg continue their journey in search of the fair puppeteer
Tanselle. Along the way, the elderly knight Ser Eustace takes both
men under his charge, alongside another knight ? and this one
promises trouble. Peace is ever elusive for Dunk and Egg, as they
are soon embroiled in the schemes of local nobility, while a
darker, greater thread threatens to unravel long-held truths of the
Battle of Redgrass Field. In classic George R.R. Martin fashion,
heroes and villains are never clear-cut, and political alliances
threaten to slice the deepest. Yet one path lies ahead for Dunk and
Egg: onward toward destiny. Join them as they venture along a
now-familiar world but in a time all-new Collecting The Hedge
Knight II: The Sworn Sword #1-6, this special edition comes packed

An Illustrated Guide to British Upland Vegetation is the first
comprehensive, single book on plant communities in the British
uplands. It provides concise descriptions of all currently
recognised British upland vegetation types. Written by a team
comprising some of the most experienced upland field botanists and
ecologists in the UK, the book brings together all of the upland
communities described in the National Vegetation Classification
together with a number of previously undescribed assemblages of
plant species. A key enables the reader to classify vegetation in
the field. Each vegetation type is described clearly and vividly,
with guidance on how to differentiate between similar looking
communities. There are detailed sections on the ecology,
conservation and management of each community, and up-to-date
distribution maps. This is the outcome of many years of field work
in the British uplands, much of it supported by the UK Government
conservation agencies. The book will be an indispensable guide for
anyone with a keen interest in the uplands, notably ecologists,
land managers, lecturers, and students, as well as the many
organisations actively involved in this special environment. 'Using
the Rodwell classification, the authors have blended in their own
ecological expertise to produce - at last - an account of British
upland vegetation which is readable, visual and comprehensive. Its
value to nature conservation will be immense.' Dr Derek Ratcliffe,
former Chief Scientist, Nature Conservancy Council 'Here is an
outstanding companion and rich information-source for all whose
occupations and interests lead them to the uplands. It not only
furnishes a clear and 'user-friendly' guide to the diversity of
vegetation types, but also provides a masterly overview of the
upland environment.' Professor Charles H. Gimingham, Former Regius
Professor of Botany, University of Aberdeen This book is a reprint
edition of ISBN-10 1-86107-553-7 (2004).
