Jonathan Kingdon loves biology and art. This felicitous combo delivers a delightful book... His knowledge is impressive, and his drawings and paintings wonderful, full of information and character... A great guide, from leaf-plucking gelada to long-eared hedgehog. Take it to any African country. -- Maggie McDonald, New Scientist Anyone with an interest in Africa and the animals that roam through the various ecosystems, from lowland rainforests, savannahs, grasslands, to deserts and shrublands, should invest in a copy of noted African mammal expert Jonathan Kingdon's pocket guide of African mammals... [T]he book [is] perfect for serious fieldwork and the vacation traveler. -- Biology Digest

Format:Taschenbuch
Der "Kingdon Pocket Guide to African Mammals" ist erstaunlich vollständig und gelungen. Die Verbreitungskarten sind sehr gut, teilweise jedoch schwierig lesbar weil einige male nur Kartenauszüge verwendet werden. Ein grosses Lob für die detailgetreuen Farbzeichnungen, die sind bis auf wenige Aussnahmen (z.B. sus scrofa, Wildschwein) wirklich gut gelungen. Das Buch hat eine ideale Grösse für den Rucksack, leider ist es auch etwas schwer wegen dem qualitativ hochwertigen Papier. Ich rate zum Kauf, für alle die zum Beispiel eine Reise nach Afrika planen oder sich einen Überblick über die afrikanischen Säugetiere verschaffen wollen. Ist man an mehr Hintergrundinformationen (z.B. Biologen) zu den Tieren interessiert, sollte man ein anderes Buch wählen. In der Grösse eines der Besten!

This compact little guide is a condensed version of "The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals" (ISBN: 069111692X) by the same author. That book is easily the best overview of African mammals, with detailed info on each species/genus, but it is not really practical for use as a field guide (see my review of it).
This book contains the same illustrations arranged in a format that makes them handier for actual identification in the field.
It is very comprehensive, covering every single species of African mammals with the exception of bats, rodents, insectivores, elephant-shrews and hyrraxes, which are usually represented by one species for each genus. But every single genus is represented, and of rodents, every species of squirrel is dealt with separately.
Maps and brief info on distribution and ecology of each taxon is now to be found on the pages facing the illustrutions.
The latter are a mixed bag, as in the original work: while most are quite good, even excellent and life-like, others are quite awful, either showing animals with stiff, straight limbs/bodies as if drawn with a ruler (like the Crowned Monkey) or in highly unnatural positions (like the Potto with the limbs twisted out, or the Cheetah standing up like a circus horse).
All things considered, this is easily the best field guide to mammals of Africa, though for more in-depth information on each taxon, you may still want to have the original book in addition to this one.

Great help!

I wish I had purchased this book before I went to Africa. I would have been much better prepared for seeing the animals. I bought it to help me put captions with my pictures, and find my notes do not have accurate information. Either I did not understand my guide very well, or he did not know the information this book contains.
