Indian Mammals: A Field Guide

Not what I was expecting, but is a great guide. Almost a textbook with detailed information presented in an easily understood format. Not for younger readers and I wish the photos were larger.

A vast improvement over the previous edition published by Princeton Field Guides. Better photography, more detailed descriptions, including behavior and ecology.

This does not come across as a guide for the layperson, I really would have liked larger pictures for easier identification of animals, or perhaps illustrations. This being said... there are all of the mammals found in India and some other Asian countries in this guide with descriptions, natural history, etc. It is a thick book and quite heavy. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to know more about Indian wildlife.

A spectacular field guide to Indian wildlife with great background information on all aspects of Indian mammal natural history.

Absolutely superb. Can't imagine it being any better. Super text and photos. Buy it!

Superb! While illustrated guides tend to be superior, this comprehensive guide includes information on tracks, tracking, scat, and other essential info to the mammal searcher.

Mine was damaged.. I don't want to return it (waste of transportation, carbon footprint etc.), but still it feels a bit of a waste for a new book. I can't leave this comment anywhere else on amazone... Otherwise the book is good and nice!:)

Although this looks fine as a paper book, the kindle version, which I bought and then returned, is useless as a field guide because of the difficulty of navigation. The publishers would be well advised to look at other field guides made available on kindle, such as the Guide to the Birds of India, which are easy to navigate and make excellent field guides.

Good read and good quality pages , photo graphs not so of great quality but ok for a filed guide

J'avais par défaut acheté la version PDF et je suis ravie d'avoir pu acquérir la version brochée. Rien à voir avec le PDF. Très bon recueil. Je pense d’ailleurs l’offrir à l'un de mes amis Indiens. Reçu rapidement en parfait état. Bref je recommande le livre et le vendeur

As expected from reviews

One of the world's best field mammal guides.

Amazing and complete informative book on mammals in India. The first 50 odd pages of comphrensive information regarding mammals is thoughtfully written and serves inspirational guide to budding naturalist. Each mammals types are separated with related species names and information grouped properly like primates, carnivores, bats, etc. The Field notes are also wonderfully selected and enjoyable read. The book is all colour and so the price is surprisingly very low in comparison. The photos selected are all very good. The index at the end also doubles up as a life list. This is a must have book for all those who like wildlife and can start working towards if they are interested with all the information on this book as first stepping stone. Has everything required to start their journey in understanding wildlife that would covering all the known 400+ species of India. And India has about 9% of all known species in the world. So this book is concise and huge in covering all the Indian mammals.
