This is my go to guide when I am out tracking in the field. I love that it has great instructional sections, specific track ID information including measurements and gait patterns, and general information about the wildlife. This book is as comprehensive as it gets for an all in one package. Highly recommend.

His formula […] is a combination of good photographs, concise drawings and illustrations, wreathed with prose that’s uncompromisingly clear and utterly unaffected. Perusing this book produces an uncanny feel that you stand beside someone on a trail, who is pointing at tracks with a twig and making laconic observations.”
