(Hardcover, 1995). 1995 1st edition. 4to (193 x 252mm). Pp163. Colour plates and monochrome illustrations by Rodger McPhail. Dark green cloth, spine titled in gilt. Fine in dust-wrapper. Ian Alcock farms in Aberdeenshire and is a well-known authority on deer. "Britain's uplands, and the wildlife and way of life that they sustain, are increasingly threatened by human influences. Hill farmers, on whom the maintenance of this environment depends, struggle to make a sustainable living, while increased leisure and better communications has encouraged an influx of hill-walkers, picknickers and mountain-bikers. All of them value the hills, but few visitors know much about the life and work of the farmer who moulds that landscape, or the ways of the wildlife that lives there. This book seeks to open the eyes of all who are interested in the life of the British uplands in the 1990's and beyond, and who are keen to look over the stone walls to learn more about the life of the fields and the hill grazings." Includes many good illustrations by Rodger McPhail. .

Good-plus in like dust-wrapper. The only modern book to comprehensively look at the ecology and angling techniques for charr and, particularly, the great ferox trout of Highland lochs. Very useful indeed for its general application to fishing for pike and other large predatory fish; downrigger fishing, techniques of spinning, trolling, etc. With a foreword by Patrick Gordon Duff Pennington and an introduction by Paul Young. "Ron Greer's book combines biological and angling knowledge on the Ferox trout - the huge predatory trout which inhabit the larger lochs, loughs and lakes of the British Isles and the mountain and Alpine lakes of Scandinavia and Western Europe. The author has a combined background as a freshwater biologist with twenty years' experience of studies on Arctic Charr and brown trout together with his ten years specialisation on angling for specimen wild trout. Thanks to his unique professional and sporting experiences, [this book] combines in an interesting way, aspects of the biology of the fish, angling methods required to capture them, humorous anecdotes and insights of the people who pursue them. Written by an author whose professional and angling life has been spent in the Scottish Highlands, the book encapsulates the very essence of wild brown trout fishing in their last great British refuge." Chapters include: Ferox, the aquatic wolf from the Ice Age; The prey, Arctic Charr, the freshwater reindeer; The Ferox and Charr environment; The hunters and their methods, Cro-Magnon no more; Conservation and management, Ferox for ever!; Suggested reading list. .
