Dustwrappers in thor. vg. condition - now benefiting from clear, loose fitting plastic covers. A monumental inventory and atlas of the mammals of East Africa, with evolution and its processes the core theme.
‘The word ‘unique’ is difficult to avoid its use in describing Jonathan Kingdon’s book. The author’s approach to his subject is truely binocular; one of his eyes belongs to a trained and talented artist and possesses in full measure the acuity and sensitivity which this implies and the other to a dedicated naturalist with a love for living things. The synthesis thus produced in the author’s mind is indeed unique’. (The Biologist).
