I wanted to be able to identify plants and animals whilst out hiking in the countryside. This fits into a large pocket or into the top of my rucksack very easily and is light enough not to make a huge difference in pack weight. It use sure outweighs the little extra in my pack. All images in the book enable easy identification. I might go as far as using this as a guide for edible plants just in case I get a touch of the "Mears". This book does everything that I want it to as the title will suggest.
The book is full of diagrams, the only problem is that it is arranged by families, this is great if you know what family a plant belongs to for instance. If you don't it would be great to have all the plants grouped by colour. Diagrams are a bit small and a bit wishy-washy.
