Quarto. With additional material by Peter Marren and Basil Harley.A history of British butterflies cannot be seperated from that of their collectors,since our knowledge of them is the result of four hundred years of collection and study.A mere fifty years ago many now uncommon species were widespread and abundant--their subsequent seemingly irreversible decline owing more to changes in land management and the environment than to past collecting.However,given the present state of butterfly populations indiscriminate collecting can no longer be justified.432 pages detailed text with 41colour plates and 162 black & white illustrations.
