The Greenshank : 5

Originally published between 1948 and 1971, the New Naturalist monographs have been unavailable for over forty years—now these best-selling volumes are back in print for the first time in decades. The New Naturalist monographs were conceived as companions to the mainstream series, focusing on single species or related groups with the same exacting standards that made the main series so influential. Presented in a smaller format with approximately 50,000 words, each volume combined rigorous natural history with accessibility for the general reader. Like their larger counterparts, these monographs featured the stunning, distinctive cover illustrations by Clifford and Rosemary Ellis that helped inspire an entire new generation of nature enthusiasts. This edition is faithfully produced from an original William Collins copy, preserving the character and charm of these groundbreaking wildlife studies.
