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.
