The new edition of the Field Guide to Illinois Mammals is a pocket-sized handbook on the state's sixty-one species. Joyce Hofmann provides entries with extensive physical descriptions, and information on lookalike species, behaviors, habitats, tracks and scat, and population status, and range. More than 200 color photos, drawings, and illustrations aid at-a-glance identification while distribution maps show where each species is known to occur in the state.

Designed to use in the field or the backyard, Field Guide to Illinois Mammals updates a singular reference for wildlife biologists, ecologists, hikers, armchair adventurers, and anyone else fascinated by the state's wildlife.

Arvustused

As a field biologist for the Illinois Natural History Survey, I had easy access to mammalogists. Even though retired, I am still roaming the state, and I still have a mammalogist at my fingertips, Joyce Hofmanns Mammals of Illinois. Not only does it contain relevant identification information but also fascinating mammal facts. It will definitely be in my field pack.--Susan L. Post, author of Hiking Illinois
