Named one of Choice's Outstanding Academic Books for 1999!
F.S. Szalay in CHOICE, October 1999
"Yalden, a seasoned mammalogist, has produced a remarkable volume; he begins with the combination of a brief account of mammal history expanded into an expert treatment of the modern mammals of Europe, emphasizing Britain. What follows is a perspective never accomplished for any other area of the world before as well as it is here. It points the way toward an interdisciplinary, analytical perspective that can be achieved for other parts of the world where the dizzying changes of the past several hundred thousand years, not in small measure due to human agents, have altered both the landscape and the fauna as well. Such understanding is paramount for the entire world in order to usher in an appreciation of issues relevant for conservation. Highly recommended."
