Lives up to the high standard set by the previous editions & moves on from them. Now in two volumes which means that it is lighter & easier to use. The free extra book is also a very useful resource. I would highly recommend this to any Paramedic students out there.

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 |

I had heard great things about this book, as a dog trainer I am always looking for books etc to learn new techniques, and gain more understanding about man's best friend from.
However, I was very disapointed with this book. The main theory behind the book being "you must be the alpha of the back" is old fashioned rubbish! First off, it has been shown that even wolves do not push through small gaps in the wild. Secondly, dogs are very different to wolves in their behaviour and psychology. He also touches on very important subjects such as nutrition and homeopathic remedies, however he openly admits he has no real nutritional knowledge! I have been studying canine nutrition for some time, and have to admit I do not agree ... Read More: >>More Details |

Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5 Billion-Year History of the Human Bodyby: Neil Shubin January 31, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Biology |

Whilst always very readable, there's something just a little unsatisfying about Neil Shubin's exploration of the evolution of the body up to the one currently occupied by homo sapiens. I think ultimately because it comes over as a little too lightweight, even though the subject is overwhelmingly big.
Nevertheless, there is no denying, ultimately, the level of fascination in the material. It is, of course, not always comforting to find that, once analysed, human beings are based on the same blueprint as any other animal with a head (and anus, as it happens - Shubin seems to take delight in repeating the word) and some without, where mouth and anus (there it is again!) combine, as in the sea anemone. Through words ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is a great book to give more detail on this sort of wild food for anyone learning survival skills or bushcraft. I recently bought it to accompany the new Trueways Survival Skills with John 'Lofty' Wiseman [Interactive DVD] - together they make a superb way to quickly get up to speed with living off the land and especially survival skills or bushcraft.
To summarise, this is a great little book. >>More Details |

I bought this book knowing virtually nothing about bees (they exist, they live in hives and they make honey was about the sum total of my knowledge).
I have been considering keeping bees for a while and thought that a little reading would help guide me to a decision. From memory, the book covers: types of bees (not just honey bees), types of hives, the gear required by the beekeeper, where bee hives can be situated, how bees can be purchased, the maintenance of the colony & hive, pests and how to mitigate their impact, the social structure of the bee colony, the way honey is produced by the bees, the 'swarming' of bees, how to harvest honey from the hive and how to store the harvested honey. There's definitely more - my memory just isn't good ... Read More: >>More Details |

I bought this book, hoping that it would be a replacement for the out-of-print Mitchell Beazley guide which has been my trusty companion on bird-watching excursions for many years. I was very disappointed with this book. The title does not make clear that it only covers 170 of the most common birds, and as an experienced bird-watcher I found that I already knew how to identify all of the birds in it. The only up-side was that it was cheap. I am surprised that this is a RSPB publication, I would have expected better. Why did they not include all British birds - laziness?? cost??
Having said all that, the illustrations are clear, and for those new to birding it will be a good guide - unless a less common species is encountered and then the watcher will ... Read More: >>More Details |

Having read 3 or 4 Dawkins books, I get the distinct impression that he majors on 2 subjects: atheism and evolutionary biology. The great virtue of this book is that Dawkins is waxing lyrical about something he loves rather than something he hates (bar the final chapter) and hence shows what a great scientist he really is.
Whether this was intentional or not is hard to fathom but I feel that his magnum opus is Biology and the beauty of the wording combined with the immense depth of his research remind you of the flipside to this book - the God Delusion. Before I started this book I was skeptical as to evolution and didn't believe in Bio or Abiogenesis. Since I have read it, I have found the measured tone and skillful combating of creationism in ...
