Oxford: Lion Publishing Plc. Very Good/Very Good. 1995. Hard Cover. 8vo 0745929621 Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks.. Photographs on plates. 201 pages clean and tight. Combining travel with scientific research and a whole range of ecological issues, Professor Ghillean Prance is a man whose faith informs and impacts on his work as the Director of Kew Gardens. His scientific specialization is in the field of taxonomy - the identification and classification of plants - carried out over a period of 20 years on the Amazon rainforest. Because of what he saw there, narrow specialization grew into wider involvement in ecology, with particular concern for the human dimension. Many trees and plants now threatened are an irreplaceable repository of medicine. This book includes two sections of photographs, most taken by Professor Prance himself. .

Lion Publishing, Oxford, 1995. 1st edition. Hard covers, dust jacket. V.g./V.g.. The rather poor quality paper of the main text is showing slight signs of browning at edges. A hagiography; for example, the caption to one of the photos reads "A rubber harvester and his family at Santo Antonia after their first Sunday service at which Iain preached". Still, one of the more revealing biographies of a former Director of Kew Gardens.
