Rich with examples of what can be done to help Britain’s wildlife thrive.

Well-written, lively, lovingly detailed book.

A must-read for nature lovers.

A thoroughly good book and a very readable one… Well-researched and well-argued ammunition for our cause.

A must-have.

An absorbing quest into the state of British wildlife today.

Lyrical, powerful book… Inspiring and hopeful.

Thoroughly readable and engaging book… You’re left with a renewed energy for the fight… Moss writes with passion and feeling that his crisp prose kindles in the reader, too.

Exceptionally accessible… Wild Kingdom invokes the spirit of British wildlife past and present… His more opinionated stance give the book its power.

Engaging.

This is another superb book from Moss, but more importantly is it timely too… This is a book to read if you care about the very future of our countryside and more importantly this should be a book that all politicians should be made to read.

A terrific read.

Moore writes about this band of ad hoc scientists with brio, and it’s hard not to be awed and charmed by their united quest to prove that earth’s atmosphere was not chaotic beyond comprehension, that it could be studied, understood and, ultimately, predicted … Detailed and insightful, this book is as relevant as ever in this era of rapid climate change.

Rich and enlightening, I’ll never look at a dewy morning in the same way again.

For illuminating a byway of scientific history that many scarcely knew existed we must thank Peter Moore, whose superbly researched an grippingly written book is more than a dusty account of early meteorologists

Moore does an excellent job of telling the story of meteorological advances

enlightening… to read it is a joy

A compelling journey through the early history of weather forecasting, bringing to life the personalities, lives and achievements of the men who put in place the building blocks required for forecasts to be possible.

Enthralling history of weather forecasting… Moore’s book records the adventure, drama and occasional tragedy involved in bringing us the calm reassurance of the nightly weather forecast.

Superbly researched and gripping book… He darts across continents, embracing swashbuckling sea captains and fastidious bureaucrats, penny-pinching politicians and mad inventors, with as sharp an eye for absurdity and tragedy as for genius.
