A NATURALIST'S SHETLAND






Book Description
'Shetland is a spectacular group of islands with a varied geology, a wonderful landscape and a special flora & fauna, peopled by a culture distinct within the British Isles. This is only the second book to describe all the wildlife of these islands, and the first to comprehensively to cover their history since the last Ice age, as well as the Norse influences from Scandinavia'. It is written for the general reader & the keen naturalist, with attention also paid to the recent effects of the fishing industry, oil production & the inevitable clash of traditional & modern industries.
