2012 1st edition. 8vo. Pp304. Colour and b/w photographs, extensive bibliography. Full green morocco, edges gilt, cloth slip-case.

Moorland ecology and management have been studied intensively in recent decades, bringing new understanding to an area where management practices have often been progressively deteriorating. This is especially the case in picturesque and accessible areas where to a large proportion of the population, the moorland itself is simply the view. In this timely publication, John Phillips surveys contemporary research and suggests how its lessons might be applied in a directly practical manner. This book is addressed to graziers, gamekeepers and conservationists, who share the common goal of maintaining the vigour of the British highland ecosystem, in order to ensure its carrying capacity for the range of species in which each profession interests itself. This is the de luxe leather-bound edition limited to only fifteen signed and numbered copies. It carries the same ISBN as the standard issue - 9781846891229.
