I run a kangaroo web site and already knew a lot about kangaroos before I acquired this wonderful book. This contains everything you might ever want or need to know (or not) about kangaroos!

This book is one of the few, if not the only, modern looks at macropods and their habitats. It is factual and informative. Not an easy read for the lay-person. It is more of a text book than a coffee table book. Still, if you are interested in macropds, it is a must have.

This book is really the best book I've ever found with scientific information about kangaroos.

Most of the books available in the US are either for children, or mainly focussed around photography. This book is extremely valuable as an authoritative factual source on biology and behaviour. If one ever gets annoyed by someone repeating some old chestnut about 'roo biology or behaviour (like competition with sheep, or not being able to move their legs independently) this book is likely to provide a good, convincing answer to them.
