This is a superb book written by David MacDonald. Professor MacDonald is in charge of the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at Oxford University, and has published very many scientific papers concerned with many mammal species. This book reflects his immense knowledge and experience, but in an interesting and readable form. Included in the book are all the mammals which any-one is likely to see in Great Britain and Europe, as well as useful information about how and where they live.
All this in a hardback format which can be used as a proper field guide. And at a fabulous value for money price - especially when you consider all the information contained in the book. If you are at all interested in mammals, buy a copy for your-self; ... Read More: >>More Details |

Running with the Foxby: David Macdonald October 22, 1987 |
||
|
This is without any doubt the most comprehensively written book on the red fox (vulpes vulpes) I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
The author, a former pupil of Hans Kruuk (more commonly remembered for his studies on spotted hyenas) writes with a mixture of humour and easily accessible information based on his own first hand experiences in following wild foxes and raising one in captivity. The book also includes a particularly interesting chapter on the habits of red foxes in Israel, comparing them to their British cousins. A must have for fox-lovers (and haters alike! Know your enemy so to speak) >>More Details |

Peru (Travellers' Wildlife Guides)by: David L. Pearson, Les D. Beletsky November 30, 2004 |

I found the book quite helpful while working in the Peruvian rainforest - it certainly is not complete and you are most likely to encounter other birds, mammals, insects and plants than those pictured in the book - but it gives you an idea of what to expect and what it could be. Biologist or people with a deep interest in species identification should try get a book on birds or mammals or what they are interested in but it is hard to get something at all or something small with lots of good and useful information. Therefore the Ecotraveller's Guide might not be perfect but it's a good help!

Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands (Travellers' Wildlife Guides)by: David L. Pearson, Les D. Beletsky October 30, 2004 |
||
|
I bought this book, as I imagine most do, just before heading off on my dream holiday to Ecuador and the Galapagos. We visited mountains, cloud forest, amazon rainforest and the Galapagos and I wanted a book to cover it all for mammals, birds and lower vertebrates. In principle that is what I got, the information on habitats and the basic ID's for most species were there, all in one portable book.
However, I felt let down by the generalness of the species ID section, it really needs to be bigger. I am not a die hard birder/biologist by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like to actually have some scope in which to identify common species and I found myself time and again putting this book aside to borrow other material from the lodges/hotels ...
