Spine unobtrusively bumped, slight browning to end-papers else very good in rubbed dust-wrapper. Monographs of the Nature Conservancy No. 3. "This monograph has been prepared for the Nature Conservany Council by the Wildfowl Trust. It presents a complete survey of the distribution and habitats of the wild ducks, geese and swans belonging to the world-wide family of Anatidae which winter in England, Scotland and Wales. The survey is the result of an unprecedented coordinated effort by amateur and professional ornithologists over many years in wildfowl counting and ringing. The results are analysed and presented on a regional basis and are also summarised species by species with maps showing the most important concentrations. Besides their general value, these summaries indicate which species require special protection and where. A description of the wider migrations of the birds, as well as that of their movements within Britain, is also included and an explanation of various catching techniques is given. With supporting studies on the problems of the control of wildfowl stocks, the impact on wildfowl distribution of artificial habitats, and the relation of wildfowl to agriculture, the Monograph reveals a provisional scientific basis for a national policy of wildfowl conservation. It contains many colour illustrations and line-drawings by Peter Scott as well as numerous photographs and diagrams." .…

Preventive conservation. 7. Case studies. Bibliography. Index. "Miniature paintings in India got their inspiration from the illustrated manuscripts which were their source initially. These art works are scattered in various Indian collections and even abroad. These may be in individual possession or possessions of various institutes governmental or non-governmental. Many organisations and individuals, therefore, need a comprehensive book to take care of their valuable holdings. This book fulfills this demand since they would find solutions for their problems at one place. There are seven chapters which can answer their queries related to conservation of this specialised group of art works. This book would be a guide for all students of conservation, art history and museology and conservation personnel working in various institutions dealing in heritage management. The book mainly deals with the practical aspect of conservation of miniatures and illustrated manuscripts under the guidance of experts in the beginning till others also get confidence to threat them independently. The readers would be helped by sharing the long experience of the author gained by him during the span of more than five decades of practical and scientific work. This book, therefore, is expected to help even those who have been in the profession for some time now and need some more basic information to improve upon their techniques as per latest thinking on the subject. Even though the subject is scientific but the author in his usual way to make things simple and lucid which could be understood even by non scientific personnel as his approach is of application of science and not of pure science which other readers having scientific attitude in life would benefit from."
