The taxonomy of recent mammals has lately undergone tremendous
revision, but it has been almost four decades since the last update
to Timothy E. Lawlor's acclaimed identification guide the Handbook
to the Orders and Families of Living Mammals. Integrating the
latest advances in research, Douglas A. Kelt and James L. Patton
provide this long-overdue update in their new, wholly original
work, A Manual of the Mammalia. Complemented by global range maps,
high-resolution photographs of skulls and mandibles by Bill Stone,
and the outstanding artwork of Fiona Reid, this book provides an
overview of biological attributes of each higher taxon while
highlighting key and diagnostic characters needed to identify
skulls and skins of all recent mammalian orders and most families.
Kelt and Patton also place taxa in their currently understood
supra-familial clades, and discuss current challenges in higher
mammal taxonomy. Including a comprehensive review of mammalian
anatomy to provide a foundation for understanding all characters
employed throughout, A Manual of the Mammalia is both a
user-friendly handbook for students learning to identify higher
mammal taxa and a uniquely comprehensive, up-to-date reference for
mammalogists and mammal-lovers from across the globe.
