Description
A milestone in the natural history of the subcontinent-an indispensable, detailed source of information of value to everyone interested in mammals, whether layperson or scientist.
With rigour and objectivity the book covers all 574 species in the region, many of them in detail and depth, based on consummate research conducted during the past half-century.
This reflects a genuine increase in knowledge since 1960s, when many species-from slender loris to elephant-were, for the the first time, studied in the wild by trained biologists, with patience and respect, to create intimate and enduring portraits of other beings. (George B Schaller in his foreword).
