Synopsis
Since The Natural History of Badgers (1986) was written, much research has been done which has added considerably to our understanding of badgers, particularly the social behaviour, ecology and population dynamics of the European species. As co-author, Dr Chris Cheeseman's expertise as a leading field researcher on badgers has been of great value. Between them, Ernest and Chris have studied badgers for over 80 years!
This new book is a major revision which aims to synthesise the extensive knowledge which now exists, and make available to naturalists, conservationists, professional scientists and the general reader what has previously only been available from scientific papers both at home and abroad. 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.

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
