Comprehensive reference series
by Roman Filipsky in the Czech Republic (01/02/2013)

Judging from the first two volumes, this is to become a great reference book for anybody interested in mammals and nature in general. Clearly written with great color plates of all species described and utilizing latest research info. The only thing I regret – and consider this a big disappointment is that no drawings of skulls of described species are offered as well as no dental formulae or drawings of dental patterns, especially important for small mammal species. I think a work like this should have definitely include those. I see no reason why this was omitted. Otherwise an excellent series.

 

Forthcoming volumes in this series will be added to this page as soon as we become aware of them.
