E' uscita la versione tascabile della guida ai mammiferi cinesi di cui disegnai le tavole qualche anno fa.
China's breathtaking diversity of natural habitats - from
mountains and deserts to grasslands and lush tropical forests - is home to more
than 10 percent of the world's mammal species. This one-of-a-kind pocket guide
describes the characteristics, geographic distribution, natural history, and
conservation status of all 558 species of mammals found in China. An up-to-date

species. The definitive text is written by leading specialists and follows the
most current global standards for mammalian systematics.
