About this title

Review:

. . . 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. Vol. 40 2009--Kevin McDonough "American Reference Books Annual "

The new edition of this excellent contribution to the literature in mammalogy for Indiana is a bigeographic approach with special focus on ecology.2009--Mammalia 73

The usefulness of this updated volume extends beyond Indiana, and is a major contribution to North American mammalogy. . . . Highly recommended.July 2009--Choice

Synopsis:

This highly anticipated new edition of "Mammals of Indiana" by John O. Whitaker, Jr., and Russell E. Mumford, first published by Indiana University in 1982, places strong emphasis on ecology with descriptions of Indiana's habitats, climate, and vegetation and detailed species accounts. The well-illustrated book will be a boon to most residents of Indiana, who have little acquaintance with the state's 57 species of wild, mostly small, secretive, and nocturnal mammals, and it is sure to please the most avid ecology enthusiast. Summarizing current knowledge about Indiana's mammal species, the volume will also be an important reference for biologists, veterinarians, and wildlife managers throughout the Midwest and beyond.
