The Lundy Field Society

Island Studies

The fiftieth anniversary of the Lundy Field Society was celebrated in 1996 by publishing Island Studies. The chapters were written by experts in their fields and covered the history of research on the island and the latest findings.

Unfortunately Island Studies is now out of print but there may be a few copies in bookshops or on the island. We are investigating making a version available online
