About This Item
London: Collins, 1948. Collins London, 1948. First edition with dust jacket in a protective sleeve. Hardback. xv, 158pp. The first of the New Naturalist Monographs. Studies of the badger have been made by prominent amateur mammalogists and have been published in books and papers, but they have not probed all the mysteries of badger life and have, in many ways, simply shown what a tremendous amount of work there was to be done. Ernest Neal has removed a vast amount of the debris concealing the badger's life. He has overcome, in many interesting ways, the problems of observing a nocturnal and secretive creature. He has made himself a patient watchman, a cunning photographer, an ingenious detective and a careful judge. This Monograph is till a notable contribution to the biology of a noble animal. Illustrated with one colour photograph, 29 black & white photographs and 12 maps and drawings. Jacket design by Clifford and Rosemary Ellis. Book in very good condition. Some dust soiling and spotting to text block edges. Very faint mustiness but no evidence of mould or damp damage. Dust jacket good and unclipped. A little edge wear and some chipping to extremities of spine. A little discoloured - especially spine - and some spotting to inner surfaces.
