Very lightly used and well looked after. Very crisp and clean inside and out including DJ. Very faint speckling to top edge of textblock, slight hint of spine fade to DJ, textblock a little age toned. Focuses on the rich upland ecosystem of Upper Teesdale in County Durham, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) known for its River Tees headwaters and unique flora, highlighting its geology, hydrology, conservation and especially the flora that thrive in this challenging environment, including specialized vegetation adapted to the limestone and acidic soils. A significant contribution to regional natural history literature as well as well as an important account of the effects on an area of drastic environmental change, given the 1970 damming of the Tees to create Cow Green Reservoir.
