New book, 276 pp with b/w photos & illustrations, A Los Angeles Times book Prize Finalist from the back: In the 1940's the eminent British botanist John Heslop Harrison proposed a controversial theory: Vegetation on the islands off the west coast of Scotland, he said, had survived the last Ice Age.... (his) proof, the plants and grasses found on the Isle of Rum- John Raven (amateur botanist) boldly questioned whether these grasses were truly indigenous to the area- or whether they had been transported there and planted. The stage is thus set for this enthralling tale of rival scientist and fraudulent science... A skillful whodunit, joining the ranks of the best narrative nonfiction. ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; sbf Sept 15 .
