  Book Description
  Publication Date: March 29,
2007
  Since time immemorial mankind has taken it upon himself to wage war against nature -- against those
species of birds and mammals which he believes conflict with his livelihood. This remarkable book is about that war of
attrition against the native mammals and birds of England and Wales from the middle ages to the present day. There is
widespread knowledge about the huge declines in popular species such as song birds, farmland birds, otters, and pine
martens, however, there is less
  understanding about the deep-rooted causes of these losses, or about the complex
relationship between mankind and these species.
  
  Roger Lovegrove has undertaken years of unique research:
by searching through parish records of 'vermin' trapped, hunted, and killed over the generations, he has revealed an
unprecedentedly accurate and detailed picture of the history of a nation's wildlife, and of the often devastating impact
and extinction that we have forced on our ecology. Consisting of species-by-species accounts, accompanied by beautiful,
specially-commissioned illustrations, this book outlines the history - and often the
  future too - of a wealth of
wildlife species, from badgers, bears and beavers, to wolves, kingfishers, the golden eagle and the humble house
sparrow.
  
  The geographical scope is British, but the subject will be of interest to conservationists
around the world because of the unique historical material that will be included. The topic has enormous relevance
today, as public concern about the environment rises, and controversies rage about hunting, wildlife management and
reintroduction of ancient species.
  
  Reviews
  "A fascinating and exhaustive study...Wide-ranging and meticulously researched, Silent Fields is undoubtedly an
instant classic - a treasure trove of information about our ancestors' attitudes and their behaviors towards the realm
of nature."--Mark Cocker, BBC Wildlife Magazine
  
  "[A] fascinating
book...Silent Fields provides a remarkable analysis of the social history of wildlife and our changing attitudes to
it...a scholarly yet readable account."--Tim Birkhead, Times Higher Education
Supplement
  
  "Silent Fields was the book Lovegrove was born to write. His storytelling
ability...shines through." -- Peter Ranscombe, The Scotsman (Critique)
  
  "An amazing picture..."Ground-breaking" is a much-overused word, but Lovegrove's sweeping and meticulous research is
for once genuinely that, endlessly fascinating as well as being elegantly written." --
Michael McCarthy, The Independent (Review)
  
  "The book is much more than a lament for abandoned
nests and empty burrows...Silent Fields is a marvellously detailed, hedge-skimming history of rural Britian with all its
moral contradictions and complexities." -- Richard Girling, Sunday Times
 

  "This is a book of major importance and public interest tracing man's impact on wildlife since the 16th century.
It culminates in posing the question: How do we manage our wildlife in modern Britian as part of the rural fabric and
economy?" -- Lord Barber of Tewkesbury, former Chairman of the Countryside Commission and
RSPB
  
  "Lovegrove has provided a uniquely exhaustive review of wildlife management in Britain.
We own him an enormous debt of gratitude; without his painstaking analysis none of us would have been aware this
widescale clearance of our wildlife had ever happened."--Animal Welfare
