"In 1997 Sir Peter Maxwell Davies accepted an invitation from BAS [British Antarctic Survey] to obtain firsthand experience and inspiration for the new symphony [commissioned by the BAS and the Philharmonia Orchestra] ...

Between February 1998 and January 1999, the JNCC systematically surveyed seabirds and marine mammals in the waters around the Falkland Islands using vessels of opportunity. The year round at sea dispersion patterns of these species have been recorded for this important sub-Antarctic region.
Offers an analysis providing an assessment for Falklands Islands waters. The maps are meant to identify those areas supporting seabird concentrations at greatest risk to the threat of surface pollution. This work aims to improve the coverage of the area and present a picture of the distribution of vulnerable concentrations of seabirds.
Mushrooms, the first of a major new series of books on British natural history, provides a remarkable insight into the natural and human world of fungi. Peter Marren, in his inimitable, relaxed style, guides the reader through the extraordinary riches of this often overlooked group, from the amazing diversity of forms and lifestyles that populate the fungal landscape, to the pursuit of edible fungi for the pot, and the complexities of identification thrown up by our modern understanding of DNA. Throughout the book, the author tells a story rich in detail about how we have come to appreciate and, in some cases, fear the mushrooms and toadstools that are such an integral part of the changing seasons. Marren also provides a refreshingly candid view of our attempts to name species, the role of fungi in ecosystems, and our recent efforts to record and conserve them.
