Why read it?

1 author picked Britain's Habitats as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Now on its second edition, this is a remarkable, unique book. It helped me greatly understand Britain’s landscapes and environments – how our country fits together.

Written accessibly by experienced ecologists, it also started me thinking about wildlife and plantlife assemblages – different animals and plants that might co-exist at a single site – which was critical when I was researching my book. An absolute must on your library shelf.

From James' list on helping you see British wildlife.
