A detailed and wide-ranging look at the natural history and
diversity of one of Britain's most ecologically important
landscapes. -- Mark Whitley * The Countryman *
A remarkable book ... Chatters writes with authority and eloquence
on an enormous range of topics and draws from an impressive range
of sources. -- Ros Bennett * British Wildlife *
Clive Chatters has maintained the standard in this excellent new
book which deals with an often remote and slightly inhospitable
habitat that attracts wildlife in droves. As the series names
suggests, the focus is strongly on British examples but the author
roams the country widely and brings the marshes he visits vividly
to life. Splendid stuff. -- Alan Crowden * BES Bulletin *
The stories Clive Chatters tells are based on decades of first-hand
experience and extensive research, and he is to be congratulated on
a superb read ... hard to put down. -- Tim Rich * BSBI News *
Well researched and well-illustrated throughout ... contains a
wealth of information about its subject matter, focusing on the
wildlife, history, development and past and future conservation of
this marginal coastal habitat. -- Ian Woodward * BTO *
