Author: Martin Goulding

***SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR***

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:
Wild boars are now living in the British countryside. There may be wild boars in the fields and woods near your house. This is very exciting news! But how will you know if they are there? Are they dangerous? What do they eat? What do they do?

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.

"For the first time, one of the most popular European animals is brought to light. Admired by hunters because of its intelligence, the wild boar astounds us with its behavior patterns, its offspring’s games, its social organization and its varied diet, ranging from fish to carrion. Thanks to renowned documentary director Laurent Charbonnier, we follow the wild boar through all phases of life starting with birth and through all its habitats, from the seacoast to high in the Alps."

Note. This is a VCD (not a DVD or VHS video). VCDs have no regional codes and can be played in virtually all DVD players as well as computer CD-ROM's (e.g. Windows Media Player, XingMpeg Player, Cyberlink PowerDVD, Creative Playcenter). Some very old DVD players may not play VCDs. The Quality is better than VHS but inferior to DVD, which is more costly and restricted by its Region Coding security.
