The book aims at a wide audience [...] and I think they have met their mark. The pictures of birds and habitats are first-rate.

The Auk

This gem of a book is well designed and well written, and will appeal to a broad audience. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

La Canada

As well as the book being beautifully illustrated, the text is nicely partitioned into a very readable main text and supplementary boxes [...]. This makes the book excellent for dipping into, and it includes a wealth of information about a huge range of types of agriculture and the relationships that birds have with it, both positive and negative.

The pictures are among the best of bird photography.

By showing the beauty of the birds and the landscapes they depend on, this book will provide a range of readers with lots of pleasure and, hopefully, inspiration to contribute to a world where farmland can provide a habitat to a variety of birds.
