5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book,
By Jeffrey Zack (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mammals of Madagascar (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book on some of the most fascinating mammals to be found anywhere in the world. There are many photographs and the quality is first class. If you are interested in lemurs, this is the book for you. Indeed, the Mammals of Madagascar rivals a coffee table book in terms of the quality of the photography while at the same time including the kind of detailed information you would expect to find in a field guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars
At last! A field guide to Malagasy mammals!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mammals of Madagascar (Hardcover)
This book will be a valued resource to those studying mammals, those working Madagascar, or even folks visiting Madagascar to enjoy the fauna. Prior to this volume, there was **no** comprehensive guide to mammals (in particular a paucity of information available on rodents). Garbutt has done a fantastic job of providing us with practical information and clear, useful photos/drawings. If we could all be so lucky to see the creatures featured in this book. Owning the book will have to suffice for many of us, epecially given the high risk of extinction for many of Madagascar's native mammals. Well worth the investment.
