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.
