Original Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. Donald Watson Ilustrador. First Edition. 1986. 400pp. "All of the Nethersole-Thompson family contributed in some measure to this book but it is Dr Desmond Nethersole-Thompson's life-long interest in waders which gives this work its exceptional quality and authority. For well over fifty years the study of waders and their behaviour has been his passion, and his great knowledge and experience are internationally recognised. There is a bonus, too, for the reader in the particular freshness and style of his writing which conveys not only his closely observed, patient study but also the joy and satisfaction he has known in watching such intriguing and beautiful birds, mainly in their Scottish habitats. The core of the book is the comprehensive accounts of the biology and behaviour of 18 species if waders in their breeding haunts. In addition there are chapters on waders gererally, wader spacing and dispersion, the wader watchers of past and recent times, and two final chapters on new or returning waders and those pipe-dream species that, not too fancifully, may yet breed one day in these islands." B&W photographs, drawings, maps and charts. Jacket unclipped in excellent condition though as usual, the illustration on the spine is slightly sunned. Book in excellent condition and gilt titles to spine, no inscriptions.

Original Blue Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good Plus. John Busby Ilustrador. First Edition. 1990. xii, 506pp. Colour photos, B&W drawings, maps, charts etc. "This book is only the second to describe all the wildlife of the Shetland Islands and the first to comprehensively cover their history since the last Ice Age, as well as the human impacts of the Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron Age cultures and the Norse influences from Scandinavia. In addition to describing the wildlife in all its forms, the book pays attention to the recent effects of commercial fishing, oil production, and the inevitable clash of traditional and newer industries. It critically observes the costs and benefits of a modern economy, both to the people and the natural scene. Written for the general reader and keen naturalist, this book is lavishly illustrated with photographs, maps, and diagrams and graced with evocative sketches by John Busby."
