Review : Chilly read

In Ecology of Arctic Environments, Sarah Woodin and Mick Marquiss
cover all aspects of Arctic biology from the role of lichens to the effects of
climate change, via seals, springtails and sedges. Use of technical language
excludes the general reader, but chapter-by-chapter references and a good index
make it a valuable and excellent coverage make it a valuable information source
for undergraduates and beyond. Published by Blackwell Science, £35, ISBN
