Найти книгу: "The Isles of Scilly"

About 30 miles south-west of Land’s End is the low group of rocks and islands that form the Isles of Scilly. Mysterious, romantic and beautiful, they have long exercised the imagination of story tellers and historians.Rosemary Parslow has spent many years working on the islands, each of which has its own unique character and special plants and animals. In this New Naturalist volume she examines the many aspects that make the islands and their flora and fauna so unique: their geography, geology and climate, the people of the islands, the way they used the land and its present day management.She brings to life the major kinds of habitats found in Scilly: the heathlands, the coast, cultivated fields and wetlands. She also discusses the people who have been important in the study of the island flora and fauna, and tells the story of the rise in popularity of the islands for birdwatchers.This book complements other regional titles in the New Naturalist series which include Loch Lomondside, the Broads, the Lakeland area and Northumberland.

Greisa Rezerforda ir skaista, gudra un neatkariga. Un vina dzivo laika, kad par labu ipasibu tiktu uzskatita tikai pirma. Tomer Greisai nav valas par to satraukties – dienas vina vada, stradajot reklamas agentura, budama viena no retajam sievietem, kuram lauts darit sadu darbu. Naktis Greisa apmekle labakas kafejnicas, dzer izsmalcinatus dzerienus, dejo carlstonu un iepazistas ar intrigejosiem cilvekiem. Naksnigie piedzivojumi tiek aprakstiti avizes sleja, kuru Greisa raksta ar pseidonimu, savu alter ego – cinisko un aspratigo Dimanti Griezni, kuras asa mele nezelo nevienu. Reiz Londona ierodas divi noslepumaini svesinieki – demoniski pievilcigs rakstnieks un kads valdzinoss dzentlmenis. Abi viriesi sasupo Greisas skietami erto, bohemisko ikdienu, uzjundot jautajumus, no kuriem Greisa lidz sim izvairijusies. Vai sievietes dubulta dzive ir alkas pec baudas un piedzivojumiem? Vai varbut ta ir begsana no sevis un pagatnes atspulgiem, kuri atstajusi neizdzesamas pedas tagadne.
