It will also look very attractive on your coffee table!' - John Muir Trust Journal '... The photographs throughout the book are outstanding, ... ...I found this book to be a throughly interesting and engaging read that has challenged my own philosophy of wildlife management and my own relationship with predators.' - IBIS
