(Hardcover, 1970). (1952) 1977 2nd edition reprint. 8vo (152 x 222mm). Ppxvi,268. Colour & b/w photographs, illustrations, bibliography. Green buckram, spine titled in gilt. Very good, clean copy in price-clipped dust-wrapper. One of the most important and comprehensive books on entomology for the flyfisherman. "In this book, for the first time, first-class illustrations - both in colour, by T.O. Ruttledge, and in black-and-white - and a first-class text are provided, by which all stages of all the important angler's flies can be identified, whether the angler fishes in Ireland, Scotland, Wales or England. The nomenclature of the flies has been rationalised so that when anglers from Ireland and England meet to discuss different kinds of flies, they can, with the use of this book, be quite certain precisely what it is they are talking about." "It is without question the best thing of its kind which has appeared for over a century." (The Field). Chapters include: Part One - Ephemeroptera: Classification; Growth and structure; Life cycle; Adaptations; Emergence; Mating and flight; Egg-laying; Distribution and ecology of nymphs; Natural enemies and controlling factors; Taxonomy; Collecting; Part Two - Other Flies: Caddis-flies; Stone-flies; Diptera; Part Three - Flies and Fish: Period flies and modern names; Tastes of fish; A note on surface tension; Flies and fish; Notes on fly dressings. Appendices give: A list of anglers' insects; Keys to duns and spinners; Descriptions of Ephemeroptera; Fly dressings; Distribution maps; Bibliography. .

Livre
Etat : New. (Hardcover, 1977). (1977) 1979 reprint. 8vo (151 x 223mm). Pp256. B/w plates, illustrations, maps & bibliography. Green buckram, spine titled in gilt. Fine in slightly spine-faded but very good dust-wrapper. Though "man-made, hedges are in effect long thin strips of woodland, a network across Britain of hidden pathways and refuge for much of our native wildlife. Secrecy and cover: hence surely the appeal of hedges even for children. But the interest of hedges lies also in their history, which is also that of our post-Bronze Age landscape and rural society, and in their central importance to the ecology of the British countryside." The history of the hedge as commentary on the history of Britain and its peoples. Chapters include: History - what is a hedge, early hedges; Enclosure by act and award; The recent landscape; The present position; Flora - the flora; dating a hedge; The origin and development of the shrub flora; Some hedgerow plants; Fauna - birds; mammals; Amphibia and reptiles; Invertebrates; The farmer's hedge - shelter; Pests and beneficial insects; Management; Costs. Past, present and future. As usual with the New Naturalist series, essential reading. .
