Overview

In Loe Bar and the Sandhill Rustic Moth, Adrian Spalding examines the survival of plants and animals on Loe Bar, a shingle beach on the coast of Cornwall, in the context of its history, geomorphology and exposure to the Atlantic environment. He develops these themes within a detailed study of the Sandhill Rustic moth that endures this harsh environment where storm surges, high salinity, high temperatures, strong winds and burial by sand affect the wildlife that occurs there.

Reviews

I dare to suggest that this book should become a classic, of which I am reminded of the original Natural History of Selborne . Dr Chris Page (Former Prin--cipal Sci--entific Officer of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edin--burgh).
