Island Studies

Book cover by Peter Rothwell

The fiftieth anniversary of the Lundy Field Society was celebrated in 1996 by, among other things, publishing Island Studies. The chapters of the book were intended to cover the history of research on the island, the early years of the Lundy Field Society and also to give an overview of the latest findings. The authors, many of whom have researched on Lundy for many years, are all experts in their field but the book is also intended for the non-specialist.

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
