A natural and cultural history of the hedgehog, an animal that has had a close connection with people since the dawn of civilization. This book explores the symbolism of the animal, from Romans who regarded it as a weather prophet, to Sonic the Hedgehog and children's books today. Hedgehog also describes the evolution, behaviour, habitat, and diet of this beautiful, and now threatened, icon of wildlife.

Reviews for Hedgehog

There is much in Hedgehog to fascinate and entertain the reader, and anything that Oxford-based ecologist and author Hugh Warwick doesn t tell us about hedgehogs probably isn t worth knowing. The book is liberally and attractively illustrated and makes satisfying, undemanding reading. Sadly, it might also prove to be the closest that many readers will get to these endearing but increasingly rare mammals. --IVU Online News
