Benedict Macdonald

This is a fascinating book for anyone interested in bird watching and rewilding. Benedict Macdonald makes an excellent case for a the return of wildlife to Britain. It is visionary and passionately written and full of case studies and examples of what has worked. He takes on economic and social arguments and points out the issue in the countryside at present. There are times when the book is repetitive and labours a point and this is a shame as it is a wonderful and inspiring read.

The reader was putting me to sleep even at 1.35x, and the text was a bit prolix. So I returned it.
