Silent Fields was the book that Lovegrove was born to write. His storytelling ability...shines through. (Peter Ranscombe, The Scotsman (Critique) )
An amazing picture..."Ground-breaking" is a much-overused word, but Lovegrove's sweeping and meticulous research is for once genuinely that, endlessly fascinating as well as being elegantly written. (Michael McCarthy, The Independent (Review) )
[An] excellent book. (Fergus Collins, Focus )
The book is much more than a lament for abandoned nests and empty burrows...Silent Fields is a marvellously detailed, hedge-skimming history of rural Britain with all its moral contradictions and complexities. (Richard Girling, Sunday Times )
Fascinating. (Sunday Telegraph )
It's all fascinating stuff. (Jeremy Hobson, Countryman's Weekly )
A fascinating and exhaustive study...Wide-ranging and meticulously researched, Silent Fields is undoubtedly an instant classic - a treasure trove of information about our ancestors' attitudes and their behaviour towards the realm of nature. (Mark Cocker, BBC Wildlife Magazine )

A harrowing account of the abuse of our wildlife from simple ignorance to wanton destruction, it makes me ashamed to be human.
