Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Subtitled, "The Long Decline Of A Nation's Wildlife". This is the astonishing history of our centuries-long war against the fauna of our natural environment. Following the persecution of mammals and birds in the UK from the Middle Ages to the present day, it is an accurate and detailed picture of the devastation we have forced on our ecology.

Publisher's description:

Since time immemorial mankind has taken it upon himself to wage war against nature -- against those species of birds and mammals which he believes conflict with his livelihood. This remarkable book documents the history of that battle in England and Wales from the Middle Ages, shedding a new light on the history of our much-loved wildlife.
