Following the other popular books in the Beat about the Bush series, this field guide is a collection of common everyday questions about animals prompted by visits to the bush. However, the contents go beyond just animals and include plants and the environment. The book has been written with a special eye on families, their visits and interpretation of the bush. For this reason there are shorter questions/answers and more photographs: approximately 600 questions and 900 photographs. Beat about the Bush is the most comprehensive bush and field companion available. In addition, it is set in a user-friendly question-and-answer format. The result is an insightful reference book in a style that appeals to novices, birders, tourists, bush enthusiasts and field guides alike.
