Synopsis
In the past decade, there have been considerable advances in the understanding of badgers, particularly the social behavior, ecology, and population dynamics of the European species. Badgers synthesizes the extensive knowledge which now exists, and makes available to naturalists, conservationists, professional scientists, and the general reader what has previously only been available from scientific papers. It provides an up-to-date, easy-to-read understanding of these fascinating animals and includes a final chapter on other species of badgers worldwide. In addition, a number of new illustrations have been incorporated, many in color, as well as more useful tables and new artwork which was specially commissioned.

Review
"Cheeseman brings to the publication the results of much of his research over the past 20 years or so..."
--Michael Woods in NATURAL WORLD
"This new book is a major revision which aims to synthesise the extensive knowledge which now exists, and make available to naturalist, conservationist, professional scientists and the general reader what has previously only been available from scientific papers both at home and abroad."
--ETHOLOGY, ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION 1997
"A remarkably readable volume... it covers every aspect of badger natural history, ranging from the badger's structured social life, right through to longevity and causes of death. A tremendous amount of anecdotal detail brings the badger to life, and does much to produce a rounded portrait of this interesting and likeable animal. It is certain to inspire people to take up badger watching, and contains detailed guidance for first-time badger watchers... Like all the books in the Poyser Natural History series, Badgers is attractively produced, and its appeal is enhanced by John Davis's outstanding line drawings."
--David Tomlinson in COUNTRY LIFE
