|summary=Wildlife has been declining in Britain over the last few decades; it is an unfortunate by-product of human population growth, which in the modern world has increased significantly. Through this book Moss suggests a few ways in which we can start to bring back some of Britain's wildlife without compromising the human way of life: we can co-exist with nature.

|isbn=Sewell Spot
|title=The Big Bird Spot
|author=Matt Sewell
|rating=4
|genre=Animals and Wildlife
|summary=Recently I stood on a viewing platform at the RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs whilst a very helpful volunteer guided my sightline to one of the puffins who'd arrived on the cliffs in the last few days. Finally, I found one, after visually sorting through all the other birds on the precipitous cliff face. It was great fun and very rewarding. The third double-page spread in wild-life author and artist Matt Sewell's first book for children, ''The Big Bird Spot'', shows some cliffs very like those at Bempton, but this time you're going to be looking for twenty-three Little Auks, in amongst the guillemots, puffins, herring gulls and razorbills. Oh, and you're looking for a pair of binoculars too: our bird watcher is very careless because you're going to have to find them in every picture.

|isbn=Burkey_Ethics
|title=Ethics for a Full World or, Can Animal-Lovers Save the World?
|author=Tormod V Burkey
|rating=4
|genre=Animals and Wildlife
|summary=Burkey argues that man's current practices are outside the realms of nature. He is no longer part of the ecosystem but instead exists above it through his dominating ways. He is himself distanced even further by advancement in technologies, industry, money and all the pollution that comes with them. The natural world, Burkey argues, no longer exists for man because he has altered it by such things. Indeed, global warming has caused climate change, which, if it continues, will make the world unrecognisable. For the world to become fuller, for it to be a world that seeks to provide for the needs of every living thing, then it needs to change.
