About The Kingdon Pocket Guide To African Mammals: Second
Review "A delightful book. . . . [Kingdon's] knowledge is impressive, and his drawings and paintings wonderful, full of information and character. . . . A great guide, from leaf-plucking gelada to long-eared hedgehog. Take it to any African country."―Maggie McDonald, New Scientist "Anyone with an interest in Africa and the animals that roam through the various ecosystems, from lowland rainforests, savannahs, grasslands, to deserts and shrublands, should invest in a copy of noted African mammal expert Jonathan Kingdon's pocket guide of African mammals. . . . [P]erfect for serious fieldwork and the vacation traveler."―Biology Digest Product Description The fully updated second edition of the leading field guide for African safaris, providing unmatched coverage of all the continent’s land mammals in a handy, portable volume Originally published in 2004, The Kingdon Pocket Guide to African Mammals quickly became the field guide of choice to take on safari in Africa, providing the most authoritative and comprehensive coverage available in a handy, portable volume. Now this popular, practical, and beautifully illustrated guide has been thoroughly revised and updated to make it even better than before. Adapted from the revised second edition of the acclaimed and much larger Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals, this second edition of the pocket guide features updated species information and taxonomy and includes several new species. It presents more than 780 superb color illustrations, including several new ones, and 520 distribution maps―200 more than in the previous edition. The concise text, greatly condensed from the larger field guide, focuses on essential information for field identification and distribution, while the illustrations are conveniently located on facing pages. Now, more than ever, The Kingdon Pocket Guide to African Mammals is a must-have companion for anyone interested in African wildlife―from the tourist on safari to the experienced naturalist. Covers all of Africa's land mammals, with some smaller groups treated generically Includes more than 780 color illustrations and 520 distribution maps Features concise text focusing on essential information for field identification―with the illustrations placed opposite the text for quick, easy reference About the Author Jonathan Kingdon is one of the world's leading authorities on African mammals, and an acclaimed artist. His many books include East African Mammals, which American Scientist listed as "one of a hundred books that shaped science in the twentieth century." He is also the senior editor of the award-winning six-volume Mammals of Africa.
