Great book on the fauna of a little-known region
This book can't be praised highly enough.
The text, the maps, and the illustrations all make it a great reference work. It is amazing to have a book of this quality on the mammals of New Guinea considering that there is nothing even aproaching this standard written about many more accessible parts of South East Asia.

a wonderful book
This is a wonderful book. There are very beautiful photographies about mammals of New Guinea, especially bats. Tim Flannery is really a good author. I advice his other book, especially "Mammals of the South-West Pacific and Moluccan".
