Description
Sir Arthur George Tansley (1871–1955) was an English botanist who made significant contributions to the development of ecology and the conservation movement.
In this volume, which was first published in 1945, Tansley discusses the ways in which English natural habitats might be preserved in the face of post-war modernisation processes.
The book puts forward the thesis that English rural beauty can only be protected through 'the deliberate conservation of much of our native vegetation', a process that must be achieved through a proper understanding of plant ecology.
This process, of course, runs in tandem with the aim of protecting the various forms of animal life which find their homes within a diversity of habitats.
The text also contains numerous photographic figures and a detailed index.
This is a fascinating book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in ecology and botany.
