Lichens of Ireland and Great Britain is a comprehensive guide to lichens and lichenology. At the core of the book are over 700 species descriptions lavishly illustrated to show many of the tiny features used to identify lichens. Two volumes allow easy use in the lab or to carry in the field. Volume 1 covers biology, ecology, descriptions of crustose species and Cladonia; volume 2 gives descriptions of foliose, fruticose, filamentous, squamulose, and lichenicolous species, as well as microscopy techniques, and a short history of lichenology.
