The definitive new guide to wild and domestic creatures of Britain by acclaimed author and journalist
A practical encyclopedia of animals, birds and fish, reptiles and insects, both wild and domestic. It also provides an historical survey from the earliest records: when and how species were introduced and died out, and how they have flourished or declined. There are essays on the interaction with man, from outright exploitation to over-production. Social history, folklore and legend are included to give the most magisterial survey of Britain's fauna.
