The animals that help the farmer and the ones that ruin him get equal, careful study here. Jan Ritzema Bos surveys agricultural zoology from mammals down through the pests, classifying the animal kingdom by its effect on crops and stock. A thorough naturalist's guide to the creatures sharing your land. Know your allies and your enemies in the field, from the fur down to the grubs.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
