Reviews

<p>Useful and fascinating. The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals is recommended for public libraries and academic libraries, particularly those at schools with biology and veterinary programs.--Megan W. Lowe American Reference Books Annual (01/01/2010)

<p> The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals is a small treasure trove of information about the people whose names are immortalized in mammalian nomenclature. Given that we mammalogists are prone to ancestor worship, I expect it to be a best-seller.--Don E. Wilson Journal of Mammalian Evolution (01/01/2009)

<p>This is a splendid book which fills a real gap in zoological literature.--Nicholas Gould International Zoo News (01/01/0001)
