This generously illustrated flora embodies the most recent
information and ideas in liverwort taxonomy. Written in the same
format as Dr Smith's widely acclaimed Moss Flora of Britain and
Ireland, it provides descriptions of all the liverworts known to
occur in Great Britain and Ireland, together with keys to their
identification and a glossary. As the only recent comprehensive
European liverwort flora written in English and suitable for use in
much of Europe (and also, incidentally, in eastern North America),
this book will be an essential reference for all those interested
in this fascinating group of plants.
This famous study of the planning, financing and building of the
New Town in Edinburgh brings to life one of the most remarkable
urban expansion programmes ever undertaken. A. J. Youngson brings
to life the vigour of the planning debates, the fundraising
schemes, the administrative and legislative infrastructure of
planning, the construction of public buildings as poles of
attraction for speculative building, and all the hopes, quarrels,
victories and civic bankruptcy that went into this great
experiment. Superbly illustrated with photographs by acclaimed
photographer Edwin Smith, along with a selection of contemporary
images and a preface by Colin McLean, this book is a classic work
of economic and social history, and a fascinating account of the
shaping of one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
