Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Printing. 176 Pages. An Advance Reading Copy in gift quality condition. A hilarious, baffling, and entertaining celebration of the world's favorite mammal. In this book the author gets to the bottom of the sudden boom in hedgehog popularity and examines the relationship between the hedgehog and man, covering the mammal's natural and unnatural evolution, from despised pest to much-beloved beast. For more than twenty years, Hugh Warwick has tracked hedgehogs across the globe in the slim hopes of coming across their tiny but unmistakable pawprints. Warwick isn't alone in his endeavors. In England and Wales, the Environment Agency, Great Britain's leading environmental government group, recently selected the hedgehog as its new mascot; while in America, which lacks a native hedgehog species, fanciers flock to the biannual Rocky Mountain Hedgehog Show to celebrate en masse the little spiny urchin. A historical and cultural exploration, this is an engaging, informative, and charming look at the fascinating world of hedgehogs. Hugh Warwick is an environmental writer and photographer. He freelances across the print spectrum from BBC Wildlife and the New Scientist to the Daily Telegraph. Contents in Eight Chapters: First of All What is a Hedgehog, What Do Hedgehogs Do, Hedgehogs and Birds, Hedgehogs and People, A Brief Interlude at the International Hedgehog Olympic Games, Hugh's Hedgehog, How We Cn Look After Hedgehogs, and How Hedgehogs can Save the World.
