Little Toller Books, NOV 2021. 177, . 225x156mm. HB. NEW. . During the early 1970s Richard Mabey explored crumbling city docks and overgrown bomb-sites, navigated inner city canals and car parks, and discovered there was scarcely a nook in our urban landscape incapable of supporting life. The Unofficial Countryside is a timely reminder of how nature flourishes against the odds, surviving in the most obscure and surprising places. Originally published in 1973 this landmark book was described by Iain Sinclair as 'a proper reckoning, the Domesday Book of a topography too fascinating to be left alone.' This beautiful new edition forms part of the Richard Mabey library, published to celebrate the author's 80th birthday and has a cover by the artist Michael Kirkman.. [9781908213938]

Little Toller Books, 2021. 248, . 222x160mm. HB. NEW. . To celebrate Richard Mabey's 80th birthday, a reissue of the seminal <i>Nature Cure</i>, originally published in 2005 to great acclaim. At the height of his career, having recently published <i>Flora Britannica</i>, the author and naturalist fell in to a deep and all consuming depression. Unable to rise from his bed, his face turned to the wall, Richard Mabey found that the touchstones of his life - his love for nature and the land - could no longer offer him solace. But over time, with help from friends and a move to East Anglia, he slowly recovered, finding a new partner, and a new relationship with landscape. <i>Nature Cure</i>, full of nuance and energy, was a pioneering book in the genre that has since become known as New Nature Writing, and received many plaudits on publication. For this new hardback edition Richard has written a new foreword and Little Toller has commissioned a new jacket by the… Read More

Little Toller Books, NOV 2021. 286, . 225x156mm. HB. NEW. . In 1987 the Great Storm that ravaged southern England felled millions of trees, and prompted a reappraisal of the arboreal in our lives. In <i>Beechcomings</i> Richard Mabey set out to uncover our relationship with trees, and specifically the beech, their significance in nature and meaning in folklore. First published in 2007 this book was widely praised and described by Kathleen Jamie in the Guardian as 'Refreshing, droll, politically alert, occasionally self-mocking, he has the enviable ability both to write historical overview and also to slip into the woods like a dryad, bringing us back to the trees themselves.' This new edition forms part of the Richard Mabey Library, published to mark the author's 80th birthday, and includes a cover by the artist Michael Kirkman.. [9781908213945]

Gilbert White (1720-1793) was a pioneering naturalist whose <i>Natural History of Selborne</i> laid the ground for works of natural history for two hundred years and which has never been out of print.

Alan Sillitoe described Gilbert White as 'enthralling' and the book won the 1986 Whitbread Award for Biography.

Freshwater Biological Association, 2022. x, 215, line drawings, col photos, distribution maps. . PB. NEW. . Plecoptera (Stoneflies) are an extremely important component of British and Irish freshwaters, and are most common in clean headwater streams and on stony and rocky shorelines of lakes.
