The Principles of Pollination Ecology [Sir John Burnett's copy]

Illustrated, large 8vo, pp x, 248, slightly age-toned, endpapers slightly browned, but otherwise very clean internally, green cloth with very slight suggestion of fading at head and tail of the spine, otherwise very good, in a slightly worn frayed and torn dustwrapper. SCARCE. [From the library of Sir John Burnett, with his signature on the front endpaper. A distinguished academic career and a lifelong interest in fungi, botany and nature conservation made him the ideal champion for biological recording in the UK. He held that effective nature conservation could be achieved only if good quality information about species and their habitats was accessible to all who needed it - a belief that made him perfectly suited to run the National Biodiversity Network, founded in 2000. He was convinced that academics with high administrative posts must continue with some personal research, in his case on the myxomycetes.].
