"This is an excellent resource for conservation biologists, researchers, and students as well as naturalists." -- Monika Rohlmann, CBRA 5021 "This handbook is more than just a field guide. Right at the outset, I was enthralled with the General Biology section, which describes the many morphological and behavioural adaptations that set ungulates apart from other mammals. The black-and-white line drawings by Michael Hames and Denise Koshowski, scattered throughout the book, are excellent... The books major strengths include the background information on ungulate biology and the comprehensive species and subspecies accounts. Shackleton provides sufficient information to provoke interest and provides answers without ever overwhelming the reader. Everyone from the beginning naturalist to the working field biologist will find this handbook useful and informative ... In keeping with the quality of the first two volumes of the series ... Hoofed Mammals is an excellent and welcome addition to any natural historians bookshelf." -- Yolanda Morbey, Discovery (Summer 2000) "This is an excellent resource for conservation biologists, researchers, and students as well as naturalists." -- Dan R Kunkle, Wildlife Activist (Autumn 2000)
