Mammals of New Guinea [Hardcover]

Tim Flannery (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1995

Stepping into the New Guinea rainforest is like entering a time machine, according to Tim Flannery. There, animals unknown anywhere else except as fossils continue to flourish within scarcely disturbed ecological communities. In this beautifully illustrated guide, Flannery presents the most complete information available about the natural history and systematics of New Guinea's unique mammals. For this revised edition, the author has expanded and completely revised his acclaimed handbook on the natural history and systematics of New Guinea's unique mammals.

This review is from: Mammals of New Guinea (Hardcover)

This book can't be praised highly enough.
The text, the maps, and the illustrations all make it a great reference work. It is amazing to have a book of this quality on the mammals of New Guinea considering that there is nothing even aproaching this standard written about many more accessible parts of South East Asia.

This is a wonderful book. There are very beautiful photographies about mammals of New Guinea, especially bats. Tim Flannery is really a good author. I advice his other book, especially "Mammals of the South-West Pacific and Moluccan".
