David Conrad Taylor, BVMS, FRCVS, FZS, was a British veterinary surgeon. He was the first veterinary surgeon to specialise in zoo and wildlife medicine. Taylor worked with zoo and wild animals from 1957, acting as a consultant on the treatment of some of the rarest species on Earth. He was world-renowned as an expert in marine mammal medicine.
In the mid-1970s and early 1980s, Taylor wrote a popular series of autobiographical books that charted his life and experiences as a "Zoo Vet". These books were adapted for Television in a drama series, One by One. He continued to be a prolific writer until his death. [wikipedia]
The style really helped for a beginner/intermediate friendly overview. Each section provided exercises to try what you were reading about. The photography on the pages made this seem non-textbooky and gave it a lot of visual appeal. I will hang on to this one to refer to and go back through the lessons. Will share with my photography club too.
This book is an easy to read, well illustrated guide to digital photography. Great for beginners and good for hobbyists looking for a refresher on techniques and camera settings.
