Media Reviews
An ambitious work more than ably executed by Professor Stefan Buczacki. Although graduating in botany, his first love was zoology, ignited by his childhood in a Derbyshire village. He spent many years in research before becoming a well-known radio and television star and popular garden writer from whence he has earned a well-deserved reputation for solid horticultural advice accompanied by a dry, erudite wit. Fauna Britannica is a celebration and history of Britain's relationship with its wildlife. From invertebrates and fish on the seashore to amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, Buczacki explores their evolution, their relationship with man - occasionally good, occasionally bad - and their place in myth, legend and folklore. Superbly illustrated and informatively written in an easy-to-understand style, this is an invaluable reference for all the family, educating readers in our natural heritage and teaching us how to preserve it for generations to come. - Lucy Watson
