He was also aware of the importance of history as an influence on present day plant distribution, especially in arctic plants. In The Phytogeography of Northern...

Domesday England
ISBN: 9780521310260 / Angielski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It is not surprising that so many scholars have felt its fascination, and have discussed again and again what it says about economic, social and legal matters. But it also tells us much about the countryside of the eleventh century, and the present volume...
