Zoology: Mammals
The excellent field guide to Whales, Dolphins and Seals 
has been on the NHBS bestseller list ever since it was 
released in August. Serious marine mammal enthusiasts will 
also be interested in Whales, Whaling and Ecosystems 
and Baleen Whales. Madagascar is proving very popular 
with publishers this season, with Mammals of Madagascar, 
and three new and recent titles about Lemurs (Lemurs of 
Madagascar, Lemurs and Ringtailed Lemur Biology). 
Smaller creatures are given consideration in the Water 
Shrew Handbook and the new edition of the Water Vole 
Conservation Handbook.
