Editorial Review Product Description The Biology of Small Mammals is the first exploration of the lives of small mammals undertaken in decades. Mammalogist Joseph F. Merritt offers an engaging, in-depth discussion about a diverse array of small mammals, from the rare Kitti's hog-nosed bat of Southeast Asia to the bizarre aye-aye of Madagascar to the familiar woodchuck of North America. Small mammals include those mammals weighing under five kilograms (approximately eleven pounds). Merritt introduces the various species that fall under this heading, then follows with chapters that cover such topics as behavior, modes of feeding, locomotion, habitat use, reproduction, and coping with heat loss. Animals of this size face different physiological and ecological challenges than larger mammals. Merritt describes in rich detail how mammals across the globe have adapted to compensate for their small stature, showing how they contribute to and survive in diverse environments in many fascinating ways. For example, arctic foxes, weighing just 3 to 4.3 kilograms, are champion survivors in the cold. They cope with their harsh environs by decreasing activity, seeking shelter in temporary dens and snow burrows, growing a lush winter fur, and undergoing complex physiological changes to insulate themselves from chilling temperatures. Beautifully illustrated throughout, The Biology of Small Mammals provides a valuable and updated reference on nature's more diminutive creatures. Customer Reviews (1)

Great field guide!!
Great book, bad binding
Excellent resource
Absolutely the best mammals guide for the region Having never been to the tropics before, I was still able to identify every bat I caught using mist nets with only the aid of this book (my local guides were unfamiliar with the bats).
A wonderfulcompanion for both amateurs and pros The care taken over detail throughout make the bookboth scientifically valuable and highly readable. It is a true labour oflove -and just look at this quote fromthe author's preface!"Some species I painted while sitting in a truck, using the steeringwheel as an easel, and some in a tent with a hadlamp at night, but mostwere done outside during the day, sitting on the ground or on a log.Thewhite background of the plates suffered from a continuous onslaught ofdust, sweat, and grime, and other indefinable debris. Carrying the platesthroughout Central America involved some harrowing experiences, one ofwhich was a short flight to Tortuguero in Costa Rica. The pilot had atlength persuaded me to put my portfolio in the front baggage hold in thenose of the plane, and after we took off he realized that the door to thishold had come open. While the other four passengers agonized over thepossibility of the plane going down if the luggage became tangled in thepropellors, I was trying to follow our coordinates so I could search for myplates if they fell to the swampy ground below. Fortunately, we landed at asmall airfield, corrected the problem, and lost nothing but peace ofmind." ... Read more |

Extrodinary wealth of information in a compact volume
south africa mammals guide book
photo identification made easy
Field Guide to the Mammals of Southern Africa The pictures are very clear and the description focuses on the distinguishing characters of each species.The descriptions are very logical and easy to follow... i.e. the blaze on the nose of this antelope is continuous therefore, it is species A, where the blaze on the nose of the next antelope (which looks just like species A) is not continuous, therefore it is species B.
Good source for species identification Additionally I recommendthis book for those who are on their first few trips to So. Africa for ahunting expedition or site-seeing holidays. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Zoos, aquaria, and wildlife parks are vital centers of animal conservation and management. For nearly fifteen years, these institutions have relied on Wild Mammals in Captivity as the essential reference for their work. Now the book reemerges in a completely updated second edition. Wild Mammals in Captivity presents the most current thinking and practice in the care and management of wild mammals in zoos and other institutions. In one comprehensive volume, the editors have gathered the most current information from studies of animal behavior; advances in captive breeding; research in physiology, genetics, and nutrition; and new thinking in animal management and welfare. In this edition, more than three-quarters of the text is new, and information from more than seventy-five contributors is thoroughly updated. The standard text for all courses in zoo biology, Wild Mammals in Captivity will, in its new incarnation, continue to be used by zoo managers, animal caretakers, researchers, and anyone with an interest in how to manage animals in captive conditions. |

Beautiful book, not enough images
Fine addition, but you still need the other two volumes!
Of limited value if you don't buy the other two volumes ... The relatively small number of color-plates was also a bit disappointing. Finally the size of the book (height & breadth) makes it a real challenge to take with you on a field trip. The information on species that *are* described in detail in this volume, however, is excellent. Distribution maps, behavior, detailed measurements, anatomical details and lots of references to source literature make it a joy to read and browse through. In summary I'd say that, provided you purchase the whole series, it's an excellent reference and clearly deserves 5 stars. As a field guide it's of limited use, because it's so bulky, so that's 3 stars. ... makes 4 stars on average. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Published in conjunction with a ten-part television series that will air on the Discovery Channel, The Life of Mammals brings us nose-to-nose with mammals in all of their beauty and immense variety. Renowned naturalist, writer, and filmmaker David Attenborough treks across every continent and kind of terrain to introduce us to such unusual and evolutionarily successful creatures as the Patagonian opossum, the Canadian pygmy shrew, the Alpine marmot, and the Malaysian sun bear. We meet slow-moving algae-covered sloths. We enter a pack of African wild dogs, seeing how their division of labor enables them to provide protection and food to pups, mothers, and old dogs. We learn about the navigation systems of bats and find out why Borneo's colugo is a superior glider to a flying squirrel. Along the way, Attenborough considers how evolution has shaped mammalian habits, leading herbivorous sea cows to take to the water and humans to commence agriculture. Containing more than 200 spectacular color photographs, this is a book that will gratify anyone intrigued by the natural world and the animals that inhabit it. Informative, utterly absorbing, and classic Attenborough, it represents natural history at its finest. Customer Reviews (9)
Nature Programming at Its Best!
"The Life of Mammals"!
Attenborough is fantastic!
Beautiful Photos, Engaging Read
There are better books for the purpose To me, a much better companion volume for Attenborough's series is David Macdonald's 2001 edition of _The Encyclopedia of Mammals_.The photographs in Macdonald's book are even larger and glossier than in Attenborough's book, plus there are photographs of almost every taxonomical group.If one sees Attenborough first, Macdonald's book allows readers to hone in on species and groups that they saw in the movie and found interesting, or see the animals that Attenborough left out.If one reads Macdonald first, which mammals Attenborough will choose to show and how becomes a guessing game.Unlike Attenborough's book, the format of Macdonald's book exploits the advantage of using a book over a movie--the subsections are well divided by taxonomical group, and readers can move at their own pace more easily and focus on only one species or a few species, if they so choose. ...
