Review
[A] delight to read ... a fascinating and well-crafted volume, with a refreshingly crisp and contemporary interpretation of its subject. --the ranger's blog, http://naturenet.net/blogs/
[An] admirable text ... The publishers and authors should be congratulated. --Ray Collier, wildlife writer, Highland News, December 2010
Great book, beautifully produced. You have certainly filled a gap in the market!
--Laurie Campbell, wildlife photographer
'Did you know that about half of the world's grey seals live in British and Irish waters, or a pygmy shrew consumes 125 per cent of its bodyweight each day? This family-friendly book is packed full of fascinating facts about more than 60 species. Covering diet, habitat, predators, reproduction and conservation status, and with an evolutionary family tree and track-identification chart, Britain's Mammals is great value for money.'
--BBC Wildlife magazine, March 2011
