Laurie Excell starts the book by explaining the equipment you are likely to need. One complaint I have is that she is kind of specific in her examples, meaning that this part of the book, at least, will potentially be dated. It also discounts the fact that Canon, Sony, Pnetax, etc all make camera equipment as she focuses on Nikon. No problem as long as you purchase the brand of equipment you want, not what Laurie tells you to buy.
If you shoot anything other than Nikon, be aware you'll have to know the terminology that Laurie discusses for your particular camera brand as well. She does a fairly good job putting the Canon equivalent in ( ), but for shooters of other systems, you definitely better know your camera system.
In terms of techniques, Laurie shows you how to setup shots (such as using a "blind" for bird photography) and what settings are best used to get similar. She also details the equipment she used to capture the shot (again, KNOW YOUR CAMERA SYSTEM).
Over all this book has helped me better "see" shots of wildlife and I'm glad I spent the couple of hours needed to read it through.
4 stars because without the camera branding, this would be a 5 star, general use book.

The opening chapters are about equipment and camera basics. While one can think they know a lot, there's always room for learning. I was especially interested in what kind of equipment she was recommending and why. She gives beginning, moderate and expensive set-ups so that you don't have to immediately say, "oh, sure, I'm really going to spend almost $10,000 on a 600mm lens" and stop reading.
She explains the why of the settings used to take her sample pictures. I really think "why" is one of the most important things.
After each chapter she has a simple assignment to use what she's just written about.
I haven't finished the book yet because I'm going through step by step as though it were a class. That seems to be working quite well.
