    Princeton University Press 2010; US$ 60.00

    China's stunning diversity of natural habitats--from parched deserts to lush tropical forests--is home to more than 10 percent of the world's mammal species.

  • Evolution of Island Mammalsby Alexandra van der Geer; George Lyras; John de Vos; Michael Dermitzakis

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2011; US$ 99.95

    Evolution on islands differs in a number of important ways from evolution on mainland areas.  Over millions of years of isolation, exceptional and sometimes bizarre mammals evolved on islands, such as pig-sized elephants and hippos, giant rats and gorilla-sized lemurs that would have been formidable to their mainland ancestors. This timely and innovative book is the first to offer a much-needed synthesis of recent advances in the exciting field of the evolution and extinction of fossil insular placental mammals. It provides a comprehensive overview of current knowledge on fossil island mammals worldwide, ranging from the Oligocene to the onset of the Holocene. The book addresses evolutionary processes and key aspects of insular mammal... more...

  • Platypusby Ann Moyal

    Allen & Unwin 2001; US$ 28.00

    This fascinating animal completely baffled early British and French naturalists, and overturned prevailing theories of species evolution and taxonomy. Reputations were won and lost over whether the animal was mammal, reptile or bird - and crucially, whether or not it laid eggs. The platypus has continued to captivate public and scientific attention to the present day. more...

  • Shadow Mountainby Renee Askins

    Doubleday Publishing 2002; US$ 11.99

    After forming an intense bond with Natasha, a wolf cub she raised as part of her undergraduate research, Renée Askins was inspired to found the Wolf Fund. As head of this grassroots organization, she made it her goal to restore wolves to Yellowstone National Park, where they had been eradicated by man over seventy years before. Here, Askins recounts her courageous fifteen-year campaign, wrangling along the way with Western ranchers and their political allies in Washington, enduring death threats, and surviving the anguish of illegal wolf slayings to ensure that her dream of restoring Yellowstone’s ecological balance would one day be realized. Told in powerful, first-person narrative, Shadow Mountain is the awe-inspiring story... more...
