ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MAMMALS

This is the definitive reference work on mammals for the 21st century, covering the behaviour, diet, distribution, and evolution of every known living mammal in the world. Written by an international team of experts, this new edition has been revised and updated to reflect the most recent developments in modern zoology, and offers brand new feature entries on topics that include conservation, the evolution of primates, and disease in the Tasmanian devil. Illustrated throughout, the 'Encyclopedia' contains breathtaking photo stories of momentous events such as the birth of a dolphin, an elephant's early years, and life in the pounch for a kangaroo. An essential work for zoologists and professional natural historians, this book is also a stunning point of reference for families and for anyone interested in the mammals of the world.
