Richard Sidney Richmond Fitter, Ann Farrer, Alastair Fitter: Grasses, Sedges, Rushes and Ferns of Britain and Northern Europe (1984) No rating

A reference book rather than one to read cover to cover, but still relatively interesting and accessible for getting an overview of the plants out there, before using as a reference book later on.

Maybe could use some diagrams to introduce all the specific terminology before diving in to the plant descriptions.

Lee Schofield: Wild Fell (2022, Transworld Publishers Limited, Doubleday)

A fantastic book, persuasively and informatively written. It gives several points of view about nature conservation in the Cumbrian uplands, and informs the reader about the compromises between them, while still being accessible and a joy to read. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
