"Packed with photos, illustrations, and lively text that comfortably bridges the gap between a child's reference tool and a doctoral thesis."--Scott Kirkwood, National Parks Magazine "Princeton's winning combination of gorgeous photography, current biological and field research, an international team of scientist-contributors, and an accessible style... This book successfully conveys the wonder and delight that its authors take in the study of the world's creatures. It is a worthy addition to any school or home library."--Teresa Scollon, Foreword Magazine "In short, this book remains a must have for anyone who is interested in mammals, from the casual reader to even the most knowledgeable mammalogist. Best yet, at the current price, there is simply no excuse anymore not to have it."--Olaf R. P. Bininda-Emonds, Quarterly Review of Biology
