- More than 100 species known to have become extinct since the year 1500 are presented separately in their own appendix.
- Summary of recognized domestic species is provided in a separate appendix.
- A 37-page world atlas of colour reference maps, with relevant details of interest to mammal enthusiasts and professionals.

All the Mammals of the World has two clear antecedents, with which it shares many of its goals, especially that of spreading and promoting interest in mammals and wildlife worldwide: the Handbook of the Mammals of the World series in 9 volumes, the first printed work to include all the mammals of the world; and the Illustrated Checklist of the Mammals of the World in two volumes, which provides a taxonomic review of the previous publication. All the Mammals of the World in a single volume aims to bring the extraordinary richness and diversity of the world's mammals closer to a wider audience.
