What Makes a Good Farm for Wildlife

Abstract

MY first impressions on flipping through the pages of this book are that the layout is superb and wellorganized, and the combination of text, good colour photos, diagrams and box text should appeal to a wide audience. Do we need another book on this topic and, if so, what makes this one different? As a conservation practitioner and ornithologist/ecologist living in north-west Tasmania what I like most about this book and what makes it different is the way David Lindenmayer and his team communicate their research findings to the lay public in a refreshing manner with clear, practical messages and interesting facets of plant-animal interactions of both vertebrates and invertebrates.
