Reviews
"Engaging, informative and beautifully illustrated... This 224-page volume is the definitive reference for libraries--whether located on a university campus or natural history institution, in a public or personal library. Additionally, this field guide will appeal to naturalists of all ages and is indispensable to those who go 'mossing.'"--Devorah Bennu, GrrlScientist, Guardian "This is a beautifully prepared and well-written book, and I strongly recommend it to all who have an interest in bryophyte conservation and rarity; and as a means of providing bryophyte awareness to a broader public."--James R. Shevock, Bryologist "[T]his well-written and beautifully presented publication will be a valuable reference work for anyone concerned with studying, managing and conserving England's threatened bryophytes ... stunningly good."--Sharon Pilkington, British Wildlife "This book deserves a place in the office of every conservation biologist, bryologist and ecologist. I expect it to be heavily referenced in grant proposals and to act as a template for guides to other countries' rare bryophytes."--Laura Forrest, Edinburgh Journal of Botany
