"One of The Guardians Best Nature Books of 2017, chosen by Stephen Moss" "A comprehensive guide to identification, habitats, behaviour, distribution and numbers; it is absolutely brilliant."---Stephen Moss, The Guardian "This is not just another field guide, this is the perfect field guide for old hands and newcomers alike. It presents profiles on every mammal you can encounter in Britain and Ireland as well as established introduced and reintroduced species. The tracks and signs chapter is particularly brilliant, with clear drawings of each track and an accurate droppings identification chart. Britain's Mammals also encourages you to go and test your new skills in the field--it has already earned a place in my rucksack."---Hilary Macmillan, BBC Wildlife "This lavishly illustrated guide crams in a huge amount of information in an accessible format. The stunning photos capture the charisma of our mammal species as well as key identification features and are likely to entice readers out into the field in order to try to catch a glimpse of these often elusive animals. . . . An invaluable guide to take out into the field and also a pleasure to peruse at home."---Philip Briggs, Bat Conservation Trust "An excellent series of field guides."---Mike Toms, British Trust for Ornithology "The book is so well written and structured that I think it will appeal equally to the relative novice and to those with a major interest in mammals. . . . It is the standout option for anyone wanting a field guide or basic introduction to Britain's mammals."---Ian Carter, British Birds "The WILDGuides are rapidly becoming the definitive format for UK field guides. . . . Their clear, concise and comprehensive format has set a new bar in the field guide arena."---Peter Smithers, Antenna: Journal of the Royal Entomological Society "The winning WILDGuide formula continues throughout this wideranging and attractively designed field guide that follows in the major footsteps of Britain's Birds. . . . Britains Mammals is a book for simple enjoyment as well as for learning and I heartily recommend it."---Phil Slade, Another Bird Blog "Watching mammals is always a thrill and this new book will help. . . . The team at WILDGuides have produced another excellent field guide, hot on the heels of Britain's Birds, with Britain's Mammals well worth a place on your bookshelf or in your rucksack as you head out to explore the countryside."---The Biggest Twitch "This book should hardly hit the book case and be in constant use."---John Miles, Chick Books "This book held the attention of my 6-year-old grandson for every one of its 320+ pages and I was very impressed with it too. It is now my go-to field guide for anything and everything I could ever want to know about British and Irish mammals. I have no hesitation in recommending as an excellent addition to any naturalist's library."---Mike King, Gloster Birder "This guide is worthy of a special mention because it's just excellent. If you want to know about mammals in Britain it's unlikely you'll need any other book. This one is the business . . . a truly must-have field guide to all the mammals which inhabit, or have inhabited, the UK." * UK Safari * "An intelligent thoroughbred of a book, crammed full of information gleaned from innumerable sources and bang up to date. I recommend it wholeheartedly."---Richard Moores, Birdwatch "I love this book and wish we had one like it covering North America. . . .As an American, the things I most enjoy while diving into Britain's Mammals, teeming with color photos, are meeting close relatives of our own species--the pine marten, for example, a skinny but handsome version of our American marten--as well as little furry beasts I know from English literature."---Ed Kanze, Bedford Record-Review "This is a beautifully designed and produced 'coat pocket' sized field guide for the serious naturalist."---Michael Clark, Country-Side "A highly impressive book. Although it is the stunning photography that initially catches the eye, the text is equally outstanding. The information provided for each species is clear, authoritative and up-to-date and generally surpasses that available in most other non-specialist texts on the mammals of the British Isles."---Tony Chalcraft, Reference Reviews "500 superb colour photographs selected to show key identification features of each of the 126 species recorded with advice on locating and watching mammals. You dont even need to see them to know has passed your way as important field signs like footprints, droppings and nests are also included."---Eric Brown, News Shopper
