From the Back Cover:
The New York Times Book of Mammals gathers the best articles about our warm-blooded, big-brained cousins from the pages of the paper's award-winning Science Times section. The book is carefully organized so that each article builds upon the principles gleaned from the preceding article. The result provides fundamental truths about the way our world and its mammalian inhabitants work.In order of ascending brain power, the book reveals the bizarre behaviors of unusual creatures and little-known facts about common animals, from naked mole rats that colonize like bees, to the peacekeeping practices of bonobo chimpanzees and the brutal and cunning courtship among dolphins. Full of insights about mammalian parenting, play, aggression, emotions, and more. The New York Times Book of Mammals will fascinate naturalists, biologists, and animal lovers of every stripe. (7 x 9 1/4, 312 pages, illustrations)
