Acclaimed and coveted by both naturalists and lovers of wildlife
illustration, Jonathan Kingdon's seven-volume East African Mammals
has become a classic of modern natural history. This paperback
edition makes Kingdon's remarkable artistic and scientific
achievement--his hundreds of drawings and perceptive study of all
the mammals in East Africa's species-rich fauna--available to the
wide audience it deserves.
Volume IIIB celebrates the large mammals for which the African
plains are so famous--elephants, rhinos, zebras, bushpigs, and
warthogs, hippopotamuses, camels, chevrotains, giraffes. Kingdon
brings his artist's eye to such puzzles as the zebra's stripes and
the giraffe's spots, making original observations throughout the
seven volumes about the evolutionary and functional significance of
coat color, facial expressions, and curious forms and markings.
The beauty of the animals, so vivid in these incomparable drawings,
is made more poignant by the acknowledgment of their increasingly
endangered status. Kingdon discusses the inevitable problems posed
by large mammal communities in a developing continent and includes
numerous maps indicating their declining ranges and populations.
