Guide to the Mammals of Salta Province, Argentina
Salta Province, which lies astride the Tropic of Capricorn in extreme northwest Argentina, encompasses many of South America's major habitats: montane moist forest, thorn forest, lowland desert, highland desert, and deciduous forests. As a result, the area supports a wealth of mammal species and is of great biogeographic interest. This bilingual guide is the first to survey the mammal fauna of a major region of South America, the continent that has the richest array of plant and animal life on earth. The Guide includes information on the natural history, taxonomy, and behavior of all 114 species known to occur in the province, of which many species have been very poorly studied. A key to the families of mammals, depictions of the species, distribution maps, and cranial drawings assist in identification. General information on Salta and its habitats also is provided, as is a discussion of the methods of mammal research.
The Quintessential Naturalist
Oliver P. Pearson’s studies on mammalian biology remain standard reading for ecologists, physiologists, taxonomists, and biogeographers. Reflecting this, the papers gathered here continue to expand our understanding of the ecology and evolution of subterranean mammals, and of ecology, taxonomy, and biogeography of Neotropical mammals, a group that was central to the latter half of Pearson’s career.

Argentina
Even a casual observer can see that Argentina is in dire straits. As interim president follows interim president in the wake of rioting, the country cannot meet its foreign debt and has devalued its currency. The economy is falling, unemployment is high, and social services are in trouble. Because of large budgetary deficits, international monetary organisations have withheld loans and the Argentine government imposed restrictions on bank withdrawals to prevent a catastrophic run on currency. Argentina may yet pull itself from the abyss over which it teeters, but the road back will be neither quick nor painless. This book provides a comprehensive look at Argentina, its growth as a nation, and its current predicament.
