South Africa's incredible wildlife is presented in a fascinating question-and-answer format, this isn't just a field guide in the usual sense. Beat About the Bush: The Comprehensive Guide will keep all members of the family happy for hours, posing questions, looking up answers and this edition has been expanded to include not only mammals, birds and reptiles, but amphibians, invertebrates, plants, field signs and clues as well. The answers and information provided by our field guide, Trevor touch on areas as all-encompassing as the environment, climate, geology, astronomy, animal diseases and management practices.
Once again there are hundreds of full-colour photographs, not just portraits, but photographs showing the subjects in all manner of illuminating circumstances.
