A visual feast! November 17, 2008
If I was restricted to choosing just one reference book relating to the flora and fauna of Britain, this one would easily win hands down. I find the multitude of beautiful photographs and illustrations provide not just a magnificent visual treat in themselves, but absolutely brilliant in aiding identification of the variety of life forms to be found in and around our countryside. The text is clear, concise and extremely interesting and enhances this fascinating presentation.
That one can find such a treasure discounted is greatly added bonus.
RSPB and DK are to be very highly commended for this masterpiece!

This excellent book is undoubtedly what wildlife enthuasiasts have been waiting for as it covers the whole field so seperate guides are unnecessary.Following a tour of Britain the 6types of habitat are described in detail.Thhe main part of the book deals with the various species namely mammels,birds,reptiles and amphibians,fish,invertebrates,plants and fungi.Each section starts with a piece on anatomy and identification followed by apicture of each specamin with a short description and distribution map.The one fault ofthe book is that many ofv the best pictures cover two pages destroying the integrity o the subject.Highly recommended and a great buy at 20
