NEW BOOKS      

   

The Falkland Islands Journal has been published annually since 1967.  Under the current editorship of Dr Jim McAdam the broad emphasis is on history but the magazines contain a variety of articles on other matters including natural history.  Format has expanded from 4-5 articles and 40 pp in the ‘60s to 14-15 articles and 130-140 pp in the ‘90s with increasing numbers of illustrations.  An update of publications on the Falklands since 1982 is included in each issue.
