Mammalogy

This may be a great book but the Kindle version is impractical. The information posted says it has real page numbers. It does not!!! which is why I gave it 1 star. A textbook is practically useless for class purposes without the page numbers and the whole reason I purchased the kindle version vs. the paperback was because it had the real page numbers and would lighten my load.Update 8/29/14So... I spent some time with customer service. They were friendly and helpful but couldn't fix the problem while I spoke to them. But... Miraculously the page numbers appeared a day later! Maybe an update? Anyways the page numbers are now there but I took off two stars because of the layout. Many of the tables and diagrams are distorted on the kindle version. Also it would be helpful if there were color pictures and diagrams.

This is one of the BEST Mammalogy books available. It's full with great content, covering all relevant aspects of mammalogy, such as phylogeny, orders, evolution, ecology and behaviour. For those who simply like the area, I strongly recommend this one (even though isn't a light reading). Its only defect is the cover material, which isn't hardcover.

Back of book as well as the index are cut in half. Luckily I usually don't use the index but to have the back of the book ripped it is hard to keep pages striaght when put into a bookbag. As far as I can tell all other material is there though.

This is college level textbook material! It's not light reading if you're curious. Very good information, some of it is very intense. But it's informative, covers all the basic families, with interesting tidbits in between.

This book is very thorough and was rightly recommended for my mammalogy class. I got it on amazon because my school bookstore charged an arm and a leg for it.

Just what I needed!

A valuable text in Mammalogy, with excellent terminology and scientific explanations; in the same time very clear and nice to read and study

Great quality purchase- excellent condition, excellent content. Highly informative.
