Meerkats
Photographer Nigel Dennis spent two years in the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park, during which time he was afforded opportunities for photography which few others have enjoyed. The photographs provide insight into the private lives, behaviour and habits of these curious creatures, and capture them in many moods and in a wide variety of daily activities. It is accompanied by an informative and extremely readable text which documents the life of these animals in their desert habitat, examining their behaviour, social make-up and adaptation to an often hostile environment. Meerkats display almost human qualities, which make them the favourites of many wildlife watchers. This guide will stimulate and satisfy readers, allowing them to share in the world of one of Africa's most endearing animals.
The New Encyclopedia of Mammals
The last decades of the twentieth century saw a flowering of knowledge about the behaviour, ecology, and evolution of mammals, including ourselves. This new information is brought together, in highly accessible form, by an international team of scientists led by David Macdonald of Oxford University. Uniquely, the information is both authoritative enough to be used as a serious reference work by professionals and presented clearly and attractively enough to fascinate anyone with an interest in wildlife. The New Encyclopedia of Mammals builds on the success of its first edition, published in 1983, to produce an up to date, authoritative, and hugely readable species by species guide to all the mammals of the world.

Biodiversity Conservation: a Very Short Introduction
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Extinction is a natural process. In geological time there have been several periods of mass extinction. One of these periods is unfolding right now but all the evidence suggests that current extinction rates are between a hundred and a thousand times greater than the background rate. To put this in to context, a quarter of all known mammalian species is at risk. The current extinction crisis is unique, because it is caused by the impact of one species, humans, on all others. This acceleration of species loss, and the much more widespread reductions in the populations of many species, is not merely a tragedy in aesthetics, it is also a thr...

Wildlife Conservation on Farmland: Conflict in the countryside
This innovative two-volume book highlights and examines the most important challenges facing farmers, conservationists, and policy makers, using examples of real-life, linked studies from a farmed landscape, which bridge the divide between the theory and practice of wildlife conservation on farmland.
Key Topics in Conservation Biology 2
Following the much acclaimed success of the first volume of Key Topics in Conservation Biology, this entirely new second volume addresses an innovative array of key topics in contemporary conservation biology. Written by an internationally renowned team of authors, Key Topics in Conservation Biology 2 adds to the still topical foundations laid in the first volume (published in 2007) by exploring a further 25 cutting-edge issues in modern biodiversity conservation, including controversial subjects such as setting conservation priorities, balancing the focus on species and ecosystems, and financial mechanisms to value biodiversity and pay for its conservation. Other chapters, setting the frame...
