SOME REVIEWS OF TREVOR DAY'S BOOKS

Whale Watcher

“A beautifully produced book. An introductory chapter covers many aspects of whale biology, behaviour and conservation. The subsequent chapters then deal with each worldwide species, including identification features and where to watch them. Very informative and good value.” British Trust for Ornithology News

“Anyone who has ever seen a whale or dolphin in the wild will want to have Whale Watcher.” Jodi DeLong, Halifax Chronicle & Herald, Canada

“… Including the latest research on cetacean communication and social structure, and information on endangered species, responsible watching and conservation, this is an indispensable and comprehensive visual reference.” Marine Connection, UK

DK Guide to Savage Earth

Five-star reviewed by a teacher on Amazon.com:

"DK Guide to Savage Earth by Trevor Day is an exciting introduction to our fascinating planet for preteens. The book starts with the Big Bang and takes the reader through the whole range of earth sciences-related events and ends with human effects on the planet."

Youch! It Bites

Idea conceived, written and picture-researched by Trevor Day. Series conceived and edited by Dug Steer and designed by Mike Jolley.

The book is an American Library Association's 2001 Young Adults final nominee, on the Longfellow Media Center Birthday Book Wish List (Fall 2000), and winner of the Fifth Annual Wilde Award for consistency in series and recipient of a Children's Media Award 2000, Non-Fiction Book Award. In the UK, Youch! was shortlisted for the English 4-11 Picture Book of the Year 2000.

"My 9-year-old's favourite book of all in this set was Youch! It Bites, a photographic foray into the world of things that harm humans. The pictures, some close-ups, some with a scanning electron microscope, are fantastic, and the book is full of accurate information."

Sandra Knapp, Natural History Museum, London, in Nature, 30 Nov 2000

"Previously an Achuka Choice, this is an imaginatively designed book which gives prominence to some fantastic close-up photography by concealing the bulk of the information behind flaps. The author is an expert in the sphere of natural history and environmental issues. Highly recommended."

The Incredible Journey to the Centre of the Atom

Shortlisted for the Rhone-Poulenc junior science prize in 1997.

"Another beautifully illustrated book on the shortlist is really two books in one. [It] reads in both directions. Read one way, it is a poetic description of a journey from the outer reaches of the Universe to the centre of an atom. Turned upside down and read in the other direction, it's a brief scientific explanation of this lyrically described journey."
