Editorial Reviews

Review
Read this book for a picture of biodiversity in Israel; savour this work for its sheer artistry! -- Prof. Emeritus Phillip V. Tobias F.R.S., Witwotersrand University, Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa

Walter Ferguson is one of the best scientists among illustrators and one of the best illustrators among scientists. -- Dr. Amnon Freidberg, Dept of Zoology, Tel Aviv University, Israel

Product Description
Although Israel is a small country, it possesses a unique diversity of nearly one hundred species of mammals unlike anywhere else in the world. This is the first comprehensive book to describe and illustrate in color all the species and races of mammals of Israel and will be helpful in their identification.

The Mammals of Israel includes their habits, habitat, distribution and taxonomic remarks on the status of certain species and races. A resume' of the zoogeography of Israel introduces the reader to the mammals that inhabited the region in prehistoric times.

It is hoped that in view of the danger to the survival of wild animals, this book will increase awareness of the wonderful wildlife heritage of Israel, enhance the appreciation and study of mammals, and help protect the mammals of the country for future generations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where Art Meets Science, February 14, 2003
By S. Green "mokey71" (San Diego, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Walter Ferguson is a wonderful and very talented artist as demonstrated by the super realistic paintings of Israel's mammals, and the icing on the cake is the scientific twist that adds clear context and descriptions of the subject mammals, their habits, habitat, and distribution. This book does a great job in combining the worlds of fine art with the disciplines of science. The book is like a small private art collection as well as a fascinating guide to mammals of a land that is not known for its wildlife.
