Animal Tracks and Signs was first published in English in the
1970s, and immediately established itself as an all-time classic.
Totally unique in its accessible, down-to-earth approach and
detailed coverage of more than 200 creatures, it is the only book
in print that enables readers to determine which animals have
passed through the countryside by examining the traces they have
left behind, opening up a captivating new world that might
otherwise remain unseen.
Whether following footprints in mud, sand, or snow, feeding marks
on cones, nuts, trees, and animal remains; homes and hiding places
above and below ground; or feathers, pellets, and droppings,
readers are taught how to identify the bird or mammal that has been
before them, aided by hundreds of beautiful, informative colour
photographs, line drawings, and diagrams, and clear descriptions of
the anatomy, behavior, movements patterns, and habitat of different
species.
Quick-reference place sections compare actual-size prints,
pellets, and droppings for fast identification on the move,
covering such diverse wildlife as the shrew, hedgehog, fox, elk,
and bear; the sparrow, kestrel, and eagle owl.
The new reissued edition includes a new Foreword by Ray Mears, who
has found this book to be an invaluable point of reference
throughout his career, and recommends it to students on his
Bushcraft and Survival courses.
