This is the first factual book about Britain’s wild boars written specifically for the young naturalist (5-15 years old), although mums and dads will learn a lot about wild boars too!
The publicity material reads:
Written by an expert and lavishly illustrated with superb colour photography, ‘Wild Boars – Our New Neighbours’ reveals all. The wild boar’s habitat, feeding and breeding behaviour, field signs and life cycle are all discussed. The important issue of how dangerous wild boars actually are is also covered, after all, our children play in the fields and woods too.
Dr Martin Goulding is an acknowledged expert on the wild boars in Britain. He has been studying, writing and lecturing about the wild boars for many years, and has featured in numerous television and radio programmes on the subject. A qualified teacher and father of three young children, Dr Goulding appreciates the value of accurate, interesting and stimulating material that is also educational. ‘Wild Boars – Our New Neighbours’ is written with these aims in mind.
