This copy presents exceptionally well, retaining a vibrant, uncreased dust jacket that is preserved within a protective clear sleeve, ensuring the classic Ellis artwork remains bright and free from the fading so frequently encountered on New Naturalist spines. The publisher's original green cloth boards are tight, square, and remarkably clean, with the gilt tooling to the spine remaining sharp and unoxidised. Internally, the binding is firm and secure. The pages are clean and entirely free of inscriptions or markings, exhibiting only a faint, standard degree of age-toning to the text block edges. An excellent, highly collectible copy that easily meets rigorous antiquarian standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a 1977 early reprint (third impression) of the first edition originally published in 1974.

Pollard, Hooper, and Moore deliver a comprehensive examination of how these man-made boundaries have evolved into essential sanctuaries for native flora and fauna. By blending historical analysis with rigorous biological observation, the authors reveal the intricate network of plant and animal life sustained by hedgerows, while also addressing the modern agricultural challenges that threaten their preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54384781558099,"sku":"4720","price":33.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260717_191633.jpg?v=1784804936","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/hedges-e-pollard-m-d-hooper-n-w-moore-reprint","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
