'A real breath of fresh air! ...Chris Nicholson’s latest update is altogether a different animal with the inclusion of several Irish lights. ... it is obvious that every page has been carefully crafted. ...a necessary acquisition to anyone who aspires to a book of real quality! You will not be disappointed... Worth every penny!' David Taylor, Bellrock.org.uk

'If you are looking for a book that shows off British and Irish lighthouses at their very, very best, then this is the book for you. ...beautifully produced and superbly illustrated... ...well-written and accessible text produced by an author whose love for his subject is obvious on every page. This is a book we would recommend very highly indeed. Undiscovered Scotland

'Extremely well referenced, while still being highly readable, Frank Rennie’s book provides a fascinating account of the Corncrake... I’d definitely recommend this book for anyone with an interest in this enigmatic bird.'  British Trust for Ornithology

 ‘...it does not disappoint. ... It was both interesting and comprehensive, and would be of particular use for habitat managers... This well-written and researched book is easy to read for both expert and beginner alike... ...is an excellent resource detailing the ecology of this amazing bird’. IBIS  

'Knight has drawn attention to the Ross expedition, making the point that it has, to an extent, been over-shadowed by the later expeditions led by Shackleton, Scott and Amundsen.  He redresses that imbalance and has written an interesting book that also focuses the reader’s attention on the RN’s polar and scientific exploration techniques in the mid-nineteenth century which were at the cutting edge of contemporary technology. ...I recommend it.' Australian Naval Institute

'Author John Knight uses his expertise to guide the reader through the under documented Ross Expedition of 1839 to 1843 in “The Magnetism of Antarctica”.' Our Man On The Ground Travel And Lifestyle
