The World About Us (1967 - 1987): The Year of the Ladybirds  (1976)

The long, hot summer [of 1976] - the driest for two centuries - was seen by most of us as a year of disaster for the countryside.  But was it really?  Why were there so many ladybirds?  Are the trees really dying?  How is Britain's wildlife coping with a crisis that is changing the world about us?
