Woodland Development: A Long Term Study of Lady Park Wood - Due July 2017
Lady Park Wood was set aside as an unmanaged reserve for ecological research in 1944, and the vegetation has been recorded in detail ever since. These 70 years of observations now represent one of the most significant records in Europe of how woodland develops under the influence of natural factors.  
Reference is made to woods elsewhere in Britain and Europe and the implications for nature conservation, re-wilding and remoteness, monitoring and long-term ecological research are also considered.
The Seabird's Cry: The Lives and Loves of Puffins, Gannets and Other Ocean Voyagers
The Seabird's Cry comprises ten chapters, each dedicated to a different species and each with a beautiful illustration by Kate Boxer. The prose travels the ocean paths along with these wonderful birds, looking at the way their bodies work, the sense of their own individuality and the strategies and tactics needed to survive and thrive in this demanding environment.
