I thought this book would be good based on word of mouth. I have seen some of Cesar's shows and some of the things he said and did, seemed to make good doggy sense! Having said that the book wasn't necessarily quite as all embracing as I'd hoped. Though it was very good. It's also clearly a book for the US market, which is great but being a Brit I do enjoy books that don't feel quite so US focussed. Good book all the same but personally I felt I got the best out of my doggy reading by combining reading this with reading another doggy book (How to Handle Living with Your Dog) written by a Brit ( Winkie Spiers ) and which covered the whole of my experience with my adorable dog in a fun no nonsense (as it promised) fashion. If you're interested ... Read More:

The portfolio gets better and better every year but in 2008 there has been a significant improvement in the way the pictures reflect the animals in their natural environment.
Take the example of the 2 eagles fighting over a carcass or the bat flying in the jungle, every picture has an interesting story about the painstaking weeks (months in some cases) that it took to produce it. Interestingly nearly all the photographers use D-SLR apart from one guy in South Africa that uses film. I wish there was more information about the pictures as the organisers restrict the amount of information printed per picture, but every one has a great background. This will make a perfect present to any interested ... Read More: >>More Details |

I do like a bit of hedgerow and it's great to enjoy the free gifts from Mother Nature, but until I got my hands on a copy of this pocket sized guide, it was a little unclear.
This book is ideal and helps you understand what's under your nose in the gardens! So many common plants can be used in cooking and yet still we pay mini-fortunes for little bags of this and that in the shops. This book certainly helped me to identify and try some of the more obscure plants that I had absolutely no idea I could eat. It's clear descriptions of what they look like alongside nice imagery of the plants themselves help you feel brave enough to give them a pluck and cook and the warnings are there to be heeded, particularly when it comes to mushrooms ...

Wildwood is a highly individual book, unique even. Ostensibly about various types of trees and their wood, it combines natural history, diary and travelogue, and is written with passion, enthusiasm and personal flourishes which make it impossible not to like it.
Deakin, one of the founders of Friends of the Earth, shift time, location, subject and writing style with each new chapter. He starts off at his home in Suffolk, discussing his hedgerows, the wooden propellor on his desktop, the old railway carriage where he often sleeps. Moving further afield, he roams the Southern half of Britain talking about the willow trees used to make cricket bats, the Celtic tradition of the Green Man, the moths which can be found in a forest at night, and artists who work with ...

I read the reviews and decided to buy the book based on the high proportion of 5* ratings. I was not disappointed!
The book is the size of an average paperback, has a protective clear plastic sleeve, glossy pages, stunning photographs & great summaries on key facts of interest about each bird - definitely the best £7.99 I've spent in a long time! >>More Details |

I bought this book for my daughter's christmas as she was fascinated by the programme recently shown on the BBC. I did wonder whether she would find the written book a little too hard-going, but she loves it and finds it an easy and interesting read. She is 13. The photography is superb and the full colour picture inside this book are fantastic. Great buy. The picture of the weedy sea dragon is enthralling and was her favourite by miles.

I already owned a number of mushrooming books but, in many instances, they confused more than they helped; this book doesn't. Yes, you'll need some back up books, but this book really is superb and very, very well written, so much so that I read it in a day, just because it was so hilarious and enjoyable to read.
"I'm just off mushroom picking" is often the prelude to an obituary but armed with this book I feel I have a decent chance of eating wild mushroom omelettes well into my dotage. >>More Details |

It is easy to be short and to the point about this book.....it is simply stunning. That, unfortunately, is a cliche all too often used and abused...but not here. I own 2 horses and am a keen semi pro photographer, and thus was attracted to this book when I saw a review. No review can do it justice.....you have to experience the book, feel the book. I would love to spend a week with this guy , seeing how he achieved such light conditions

This is beyond any reasonable doubt the best portable field guide.
The other reviewers make that clear. One of three essential books: For beginners, or for more detailed information on commoner British Birds I would suggest that the excellent RSPB Handbook of British Birds (Ornithology) is a better choice. For detailed ID info on rarer birds, Handbook of Bird Identification for Europe and the Western Palearctic, The is probably the best. I use all 3 frequently (the last mainly for birds I haven't seen myself! Sigh!)the RSPB book is also a very reasonable price and pocketable, the Western Palearctic book is neither cheap (good value nonetheless) nor pocketable. >>More Details |
