The Ephemeral Islands

With a foreword by H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh For centuries, the Bahama Islands have enthralled travellers and naturalists from abroad. However, the impact of man and his works on the fragile ecosystem of the islands is often heavy-handed, and the first step to rational conservation measures is knowledge of the facts. In this book the author has sought to set down the facts of nature in the Bahama Islands with particular attention to the botanical and zoological species in danger of extinction.
