... this is one of the better state mammals book[s] around. The authors provide incredibly thorough and detailed descriptions for a book of this scope, and include abundant visual aids and key references. This book is a must have for any public and academic library in Indiana or the surrounding region.--Kevin McDonough "American Reference Books Annual "
Mammals of Indiana is an excellent contribution to the literature in mammalogy; it is well organized and clear. It represents a thorough, comprehensive biogeographic treatment of mammals of Indiana written in an effective style.--Joseph H. Merritt, author of Guide to the Mammals of Pennsylvania
This book is a welcome revision of the dated 1982 first edition. In a highly informative and lengthy introduction, Whitaker (ecology and organismal biology, Indiana State) and Mumford (emer., wildlife management, Purdue) describe the natural environment of Indiana, including its physiognomy, vegetation, and habitats. They provide a general introduction to the mammals, their distribution, general biology, and new to this edition, population and community structure. Keys to species within each order precede updated accounts of 57 species, including three new to the state: smoky and pygmy shrews, and otter. Redrawn maps and skull drawings replace the original ones, and color photographs supplement the black-and-white photos from the first edition... The usefulness of this updated volume extends beyond Indiana, and is a major contribution to North American mammalogy. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels of academic, professional, and general readers. --CHOICER. L. Smith, emeritus, West Virginia University, July 2009
