From the Back Cover
The hedgehog has long been a popular and familiar animal, both through its appearance in suburban and country gardens, and as an endearing character in folktales and children's books. Although many popular books about hedgehogs have been published, none pays more than scant attention to non-european species and none details hedgehog natural history to the depth covered in this book.
Although the western European species is by far the best studied of all hedgehogs, there are 13 or so other species found from South Africa to China! This new book comprehensively reviews the international literature, drawing upon the latest research to provide a much-needed, up-to-date exploration defensive adaptations to their feeding, breeding and hibernation. An appendix of up-to-date veterinary information provides a valuable guide for those involved in caring for sick or injured hedgehogs.
This book provides a wealth of information for wildlife enthusiasts and non-specialist academics alike. Comprehensively illustrated with 20 colour plates and over 60 figures, which include 30 beautiful line drawings by Ruth Lindsay and several by the author. This book is the most authoritative work on the hedgehogs yet.
Review
"This highly readable book gives a full account of the hedgehog's natural history, with much to hold the reader's interest. It goes beyond other excellent popular books on European hedgehogs and disseminates a large amount of scientific information in an accessible form. Included is an appendix on veterinary information."
