From reviews of the previous edition: "This is the standard reference about Texas mammals." Wildlife Activist "A must for anyone seriously interested in the wildlife of Texas." Texas Outdoor Writers Association News "[This book] easily fills the role of both a field guide and a desk reference, and is written in a style that appeals to the professional biologist and amateur naturalist alike...
