«A detailed and wide-ranging look at the natural history and diversity of one of Britain's most ecologically important landscapes.»

Mark Whitley, The Countryman

«A remarkable book ... Chatters writes with authority and eloquence on an enormous range of topics and draws from an impressive range of sources.»

Ros Bennett, British Wildlife

«Clive Chatters has maintained the standard in this excellent new book which deals with an often remote and slightly inhospitable habitat that attracts wildlife in droves. As the series names suggests, the focus is strongly on British examples but the author roams the country widely and brings the marshes he visits vividly to life. Splendid stuff.»

Alan Crowden, BES Bulletin

«The stories Clive Chatters tells are based on decades of first-hand experience and extensive research, and he is to be congratulated on a superb read ... hard to put down.»

Tim Rich, BSBI News

«Well researched and well-illustrated throughout ... contains a wealth of information about its subject matter, focusing on the wildlife, history, development and past and future conservation of this marginal coastal habitat.»

Ian Woodward, BTO
