Amy-Jane Beer is a biologist and writer. She has written more than 30 books about science and natural history including Cool Nature and The A-Z of Wildlife Watching. She has also edited a number of wildlife publications including Animals, Animals, Animals and Wildlife World magazine.
The natural sciences have been a lifelong fascination for her, and her childhood enthusiasm was formalised at Royal Holloway University of London, where she graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Biology, then spent years squinting down a microscope and fretting over the welfare of a tank full of sea urchin larvae to earn a PhD.

[Ailsa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t usually rate books like this on Goodreads but I really did read this cover to cover and it was excellent! A definite camping essential.

[Willy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great find , as an experienced camper,hiker and rver I certainly have lots of experience eating while enjoying being outdoors. This book offers many solid suggestions and specific recipes. The only quibble is that snow (or any water) must be boiled for five minutes to be potable. A boil is a boil, it wastes fuel and decreases the water volume. That aside, this has great suggestions for selecting a stove and for camping with children. No recipes for cooking children! (bad humor ). I got this book from my local library and will be copying several recipes for our adventures in the new year.
