Media reviews

"This is a phenomenal book! In my opinion it could well be among the most important volumes in mammalian biology ever published. Eisenberg's tome is an outstanding synthesis of, and source-book for, diverse fields including behaviour, ecology, morphology and taxonomy. These and other disciplines are neatly tied together in an evolutionary-biological packet, in which prime importance is given to the way in which `adaptative syndromes' have evolved. No single review could do justice: read it!"
- Marc Beloff, Animal Behaviour
