| Summary |
|
With all the "politics" about badgers in
the UK, it is not easy to get unbiased information. This book provides a wealth
of factually-accurate data, and lots of illuminating anecdotes about many many
years of badger watching. Whilst it 'aint the cheapest badger book, do not
be deterred by the price; as it is absolutely worth every single penny!
Truly the best book about badgers. It combines in-depth factual
information with the authors experience and many illuminating anecdotes
about badgers and their nocturnal behaviour. It is a book that every-one
who studies or deals with badgers should read from cover to cover, and
keep on their shelf for reference. |
