Sobre este artículo
London: Harper Collins, 2000. First edition, 2000. Hardback. 288pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. Lichens are beautiful and fascinating organisms able to colonise a vast range of habitats, including seemingly impossible places such as bare icy mountain tops and sun-scorched coastal rocks. This volume covers all aspects of British lichens, revealing the secrets of their success. the book starts by looking at how lichens have been used throughout history in medicines, dyes, food and perfumes. It then goes on to describe what lichens are, and how they grow and reproduce. A detailed survey is then given of a range of habitats in which lichens can be found: on trees, rocks, heaths and moors, chalk and limestone, mountain, rivers. lakes, the coast, walls and buildings, most famously on churches and in churchyards. Drawing on his broad experience in this field, the author discussed the susceptibility of lichens to air pollution, and how they can be used to detect levels of environmental pollution. 16 colour plates and over 150 black & white illustrations. Jacket design by Robert Gillmor. Book and jacket as new. Jacket unclipped and just a little fade to the gold/ochre on the spine.
