"Gould and McKay do not attempt a comprehensive list of species of mammal but concentrate on evolution, diet, habitat, physiology, reproduction, and behavior, using selected examples. After introductory chapters, each order of mammals is presented clearly and consistently in signed authoritative articles. For all college, high school, and community libraries."
Christpher Lever in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 1999
"This revised and updated book features valuable new conservation information on selected species, highlighting the three categories of threat - critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable. The text, written in an easy to read style by a team of international experts, reflects recent discoveries in the field of mammalogy, and is enhanced by more than 200 superb photographs and over 100 paintings, diagrams and maps. This splendid book is an ideal introduction to the wonderful world of mammals."
