Comments on the draft from James Fenton
8 pages August 2022
My main comment on this strategy is that the
proposed action is not based on any real
understanding of the long term ecological dynamics
of Scotland, particularly of the Highlands.

A FIELD GUIDE TO ICE
The only illustrated guide to ice in all its forms: snow,
glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, pack ice, icebergs,
hoarfrost, rime, permafrost ...
The 2015 edition has been extensively revised and
expanded, and is available as hard copy or digital.
Essential reading for those visiting polar regions as
researchers or tourists, or just interested in the Arctic
and Antarctic: locations where climate change is
having a major impact.
“There is a great value to polar travellers in carrying this
booklet with them, and it makes for a good little gift to a
student or friend travelling to the Arctic and Antarctic
regions.”
