Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Lichen Flora of Great Britain and Ireland published in 1992 was an outstanding achievement for British Lichenology. It was a pioneering work and the first of its type in Europe. This much enlarged revision reflects the considerable accumulation of new information that has occurred since the publication of the first edition and is symptomatic of the enormous advances in lichen taxonomy over the last two decades. There are keys to 327 genera and 1873 species, which is an increase of 386 species since it was first published. The publication provides detailed information on morphology, chemistry and distribution for each species written in language that is readily accessible, avoiding obscure terminology. Both the glossary and introductory sections have been expanded and the latter includes helpful advice on the identification and examination of lichens. The preparation of this new treatment has involved a large number of contributors both in the UK and overseas and represents the culmination of lichen studies at this time. This book is undoubtedly the standard work for the identification of lichens in Great Britain and Ireland and will be indispensable to all serious students of British, Irish and overseas lichenology and other biologists working in related fields of ecology, pollution, chemical and environmental studies."--Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lichen-Flora of Great Britain, Ireland, and the Channel Islands "Think of the beauty which God has spread abroad for our use; its profuseness in desert spots where none can see it; its minuteness, so that much can only be discovered by a microscope; and its extent, embracing all things." - Sewell. "Meek creatures! the first mercy of the earth, veiling with hushed softness its dentless rocks; creatures full of pity covering with strange and tender honour the sacred disgrace of ruin, laying quiet fingers on the trembling stones to teach them rest. No words that I know of will say what these Mosses and Lichens are; none are delicate enough, none perfect enough, none rich enough. They will not be gathered like the flowers, for chaplet or love-token; but of these the wild bird will make its nest, and the wearied child its pillow, and as the earth's first mercy so they are its last gift to us. When all other service is vain from plant and tree, the soft Mosses and grey Lichens take up their watch by the headstone. The woods, the blossoms, the gift-bearing grasses have done their parts for a time, but these do service for ever. Trees for the builder's yard, flowers for the brides chamber, corn for the granary, Mosses and Lichens for the grave." - Ruskin. "All organic life commences with excessively minute structures, which are continually reproduced in inconceivable numbers. On land the Lichens first appear on rocks, and the bark of trees, covering them with coloured spots and bands." - Heer. Seeds, to our eye invisible, will find On the rude rock the bed that fits their kind; There, in the rugged soil they safely dwell, Till showers and snows the subtle atoms swell, And spread th' enduring foliage; then we trace The freckled flower upon the flinty base; These all increase, till in unnoticed years The stony tower as grey with age appears. - Crabbe.
