Fascinating. -- Cork Evening Echo Excellently enjoyable and informative contribution to our knowledge of creatures on the fringe of extinction. -- Books For Keeps A high credibility level and a real understanding of the issues involved. -- School Librarian Here is excellent and expansive coverage of a topically 'hot' subject which goes further than many in the manner of a careful balance of applied narrative, personalities and facts. -- School LibrarianMore details
