pp.ix, 208 with colour photos. Fine hardback in fine dw. Out-of-print.
An enthusiastic account of the recent years of a burgeoning ecological movement - The British Lichen Society. Formed in 1958 the society created a complete listing of all British lichens. Lichens are like a multitude of small watchmen recording the progress of pollution across the countryside. They are indicators of air-quality, traffic pollution, fertilisers and acid rain. Join the lichenologists as they search high and low, in good weather and bad, for these incredibly diverse organisms.
