    For the first time, this book tells the Wytham story in a way that is accessible to both scientist and general reader alike. It provides a fascinating overview of what the Woods are like, their history, composition (both plant and animal), and how their wildlife has changed over time. This iconic location has been the subject of a series of continuous ecological research programmes dating back to the 1920s, a level of continuity of research effort that is extremely rare. Hence there is a strong emphasis on the significance of the scientific research that has been done there and how this has contributed to ecological thinking elsewhere.

    An interesting history of a famous site that gives an appreciation of what went on (and is going on) behind the published papers. A good bedtime read. Peter Thomas, Bulletin of the British Ecological Society For ecologists it really is an important book, not just for the backward look to past seminal research but also for the summaries of research currently being conducted in Wytham and about its future management. Amazon This delightful book on such an iconic and historic site should be essential reading for any student of ecology.
