For the first time ever, you can contemplate All the Mammals of the World together in a single easy-to-use, fully illustrated volume. Created for a broad public, from wildlife enthusiasts to expert mammalogists, reseachers, conservationists, and anyone interested in the spectacular diversity of mammals, this book has something for everyone.
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.
There are a number of differences between All the Mammals of the World and the Illustrated Checklist in two volumes. An obvious one is that the current book is a single volume, and its price is much less than that of the Checklist. Lynx hopes that it will be more accessible to many more people for whom the Checklist was perhaps too technical and not so affordable.
To summarize, for the first time ever, the reader can contemplate all of the world’s mammal species in a single, easy-to-use, illustrated volume, and at significantly lower price than even one volume of the other works covering the mammals of the world. We hope that this new book will reach a large number of people, sparking and growing their interest in mammals and wildlife, and that for many of them, it will be a first step toward a passion for nature, biodiversity and the preservation of our planet.
