""[A] new and very concise book that does a great job of showcasing about 400 species of larger mammals. . . . One thing I’ve not seen in other fields guides that I really like is the way the range maps are laid out. Often with a range restricted species, many authors show a large map, then a tiny dot where the species occurs – so it really is very hard to figure out where they actually are. These authors use the same principle but then overlay this with a zoomed in map so you can see the ‘big picture’ and local detail of range. Loved that! Of course every account is accompanied by fabulous photos!""---Geoff Carpentier, North Durham Nature Newsletter ""[A]n excellent field guide. . . . It is my fervent hope that excellent wildlife guides like this may stimulate concern among many to preserve and protect what we have left; better still to engender a whole new conservation ethic.""---David M. Gascoigne, Travels with Birds ""A MUST-HAVE for anyone with an interest in the mammals of South America!""---Ian Paulsen, The Birdbooker Report
