The Natural History of Ulster

This is the first comprehensive book on natural history in the nine-county province of Ulster - a subject that has been remarkably overlooked in such an otherwise well-exposed region. Nature in Ulster is uniquely varied and reveals much about how humanity relates to the natural world. The heart of the book deals with the habitats that characterize Ulster's landscapes: farmland and woodland, bogs, mountains and lakes, the coast, the sea, and urban habitats. Contributions from some of Ulster's most experienced naturalists have been carefully brought together to produce an engaging narrative. The book is profusely illustrated with over 600 high quality photographs.
