Paperback. Condizione: Fair. For many years, the ecology of marshes, estuaries, floodplains, lagoons, swamps and bogs was ignored by naturalists, but in the past few decades they have been recognized as supporting an exceptionally rich diversity of species. Many wetlands throughout the world have now been opened to the public as nature reserves, generating a wide number of visitors and increasing interest from bird-watchers and ecologists. Well known examples are the mangrove swamps of Belize; the Florida Everglades; the Camargue in Provence; Lake Nakuru in Kenya; Australia's Kakudu National Park, and Ellesmere Lake in New Zealand. Philip's Guide to Wetlands covers the many aspects of the study of wetlands in a single, portable volume. The book begins by defining wetlands, and describes the many different ways in which they function as environments and habitats both for wildlife and for people. The economic importance of wetlands is given particular attention. The author then explains how plants and animals are adapted to survive in wetlands and describes the extraordinary diversity of life found within their boundaries. The loss of wetland environments, particularly to agriculture, is examined, together with the harm to biodiversity that this causes. Ways in which wetlands may be conserved are discussed. An atlas section maps the location of wetland environments around the world and the topography of wetland regions, and provides descriptions of important and characteristic features. The last part of the book gives an overview of wetland species, emphasising some of the most fascinating as well as the most important. Philip's Guide to Wetlands will appeal to three principal groups. First, those those who study wetlands and wetland wildlife, as part of a geography, botany or zoology course, at A-level or for a degree. Second, birdwatchers, many of who travel to wetlands around the world for their extraordinary variety of bird life. Third, those visit wetlands when travelling or on vacation. The text is written by Dr Patrick Dugan, former Director of the World Conservation Union's Wetland Programme and now Deputy Director-General of the World Fish Centre, for Africa and West Asia.

Guide to Wetlands (Philip's Reference)
Da: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Codice articolo mon0000106075
