Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the product of many meetings for the Woolhope Field Club, a society formed for the study and enjoyment of the natural history of Herefordshire. This volume reflects the members' commitment to their creed of research and active involvement in the preservation of the local environment. The book covers the proceedings of the club during the years 1877, 1878, and 1879, with a particular focus on the region's geology, natural history, and archaeology. The author provides many insights into the region's development and its past, making this volume both useful and enjoyable for anyone interested in Herefordshire's history and natural life. The author's exhaustive account of the field meetings include discussions of the Spanish chestnut as a timber substitute for oak, the fungology of the vicinity, and a historical perspective on a variety of local topics. Amidst investigations into the possible existence of a lake under the Wye, Lugg, and Frome valleys, or examinations of the 'probable' time it took for various geological formations, the author paints an exciting and vivid picture of the diverse ways that both amateur and professional naturalists of this era participated in the scientific examination of the natural world around them. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
