That's not just a compliment. It's a literal fact. There is no other book dedicated to wild dogs. Not in print. Probably not at all. And if we're to be "stuck" with just one publication, it is sheer pleasure to be stuck with this one. Highly readable, engaging, informative... robust science, excellent documentation, interesting and mind-expanding explanations and statistics... There's no other book out there, but even if there were, it would be hard pressed to meet this publication for quality and readability. Five stars. Worth every penny.

This book is everything it claims to be. It is a thorough, interesting and very readable (though scientific) resource on the African Wild Dog and I would recommend it to anyone dealing with the species, or wanting to know more about the dogs and how they are studied.

A well written summary of the peer-reviewed literature and more. A great source of information for those interested in learning more than the typical brief synopsis about African wild dogs.

I ordered this book for my husband as a gift, because we plan to go to Africa and he loves the wild dogs.The book is too technicle and is more appropriate for research. I would not recommended this book for pleasure reading.
