From the dust jacket:
Unsurpassed in the breadth and depth of its text and the scope of its illustrations, the Encyclopedia of Mammals treats every living species, from aardvark to antechinus, and from zorros to zebras.
Each entry gives a systematic account of a species' or group's form, diet, distribution, and behavior. Recent decades have seen great advances in our understanding of our fellow mammals, especially their evolution, social organization, and classification. The Encyclopedia of Mammals gathers together the fruits of dedicated zoological research worldwide and presents them in a lively, accessible form. With the loss of habitat caused by increasing human demand for land, many species face a struggle for survival; one important function of the Encyclopedia is to document their conservation status and future prospects. The very latest discoveries of new species are also included, making this the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource available.
The text is augmented by some 1,500 illustrations, which combine the best of wildlife photography from around the globe with superbly detailed color artworks. Drawings and photos alike put a premium on showing animals in their natural context and displaying typical behaviors. Throughout the book, factfile panels with distribution maps and scale drawings give readers an instant overview of key data.
This completely revised and updated edition is the definitive reference work on mammals for the 21st century.
