Product Description
Discover how to track and stalk any living thing in any environment, including woodland, marsh, jungle and desert. The reader will learn how to: Interpret animal, human and vehicle signs. Preserve night vision. Use time frames to eliminate misleading signs. Detect quarry when they backtrack or circle around. Understand how time and weather affect signs. Spot intentionally misleading signs. The skills of observation, memory and analysis that a tracker employs are essential not only for the military and law enforcement agencies but are also invaluable for search and rescue teams, scouts, youth leaders, outdoor pursuit teachers, bird-watchers, ramblers, farmers, livestock owners and game keepers.

As already said, this does mostly focus in 'man tracking' but that doesnt matter! The techniques are universally applicable its just that the shape is different.
I have many tracking books and have attended several tracking courses and would say this book is written in the most useful way.
If you want to teach yourself trcking from a book rather than attending a course then this is probably the best one. It illustrates the signs to look for, what to do when you loose the track how to follow a trail etc.
There is plenty of information in this book that is just not in the others!
This book along with Ian Maxwells 'Animal signs ID' would certainly help you on your way!
And then if you really get into tracking 'Animal trakcs and signs, Bang and Dahlstrom' is a good book on animal signs (not really 'tracking') and Tom Brown Jr's 'Guide to Nature awareness and tracking'is also worth a read and will help 'complete the picture' so to speak.
If you are happy to have 4 books on tracking get all of these, If you are happy to have 2 get this and Max's and If you only want one book on tracking buy this one

Although quite military based, you can make use of this book just to work out if a fox or badger has travelled across your garden, or indeed where your postman has stepped crossing your lawn. Lots of interesting details you just never think of and I would think, rather fun to 'track' with your kids using this advice as it teaches a lot of detailed observation of surroundings, making a walk more fun.

I bought this book with no knowledge of tracking whatso ever!
Haaving read the book I now have a sound understanding of the methods used in tracking and also some very good games for the mind to keep you sharp! Well worth a read however I'd reccomend you go out in the field and create your own 'signs' to reiterate what the book says just for clarification!
The pictures are ok but would have been better if they were real photos!
Overall I found it really interesting and would reccommend it!
