An absolute treasure trove--a 'must' for the working naturalist as well as for any person who has curiosity about the world's mammals. --Roger Tory Peterson

If you have other titles in the Walker's Mammals of the World series, you'll want this one! -- Ian Paulsen * Birdbooker Report * This volume provides highly detailed accounts of the various mammals included . . . and is well illustrated with color photographs of many of the included mammals. -- Robert E. Hoopes * Wildlife Activist * The famous Walker's Mammals of the World has been updated . . . and what an update it is. Rather than the classical two volumes with black-and-white photographs (the last edition is from 1999 and thus almost 20 years old), there is now a single volume with colour photos covering monotremes, marsupials, afrotherians, xenarthrans and sundatherians (ie, Scan-dentia and Dermoptera). -- Frank E. Zachos * Mammalian Biology *
