When not teaching or involved in wildlife John also write articles and books. You can find details of his two current books below by following the links to find out more and how to buy them.
Animal Tracks Field Guide
This small volume is intended as a companion guide to a larger work (due soon). The purpose in producing this smaller work was to create something that focuses just on drawings of footprints and can be taken out in to the field. It is designed so it can be laid down next to a track for a direct comparison. For this reason, it is constructed in a way that it opens flat and made out of wipe clean material.
