Mammals of Africa
Mammals of Africa (MoA) is a series of six volumes which describes, in detail, every currently recognized species of African land mammal. This is the first time that such extensive coverage has ever been attempted, and the volumes incorporate the very latest information and detailed discussion of the morphology, distribution, biology and evolution (including reference to fossil and molecular data) of Africa's mammals. With 1,160 species and 16 orders, Africa has the greatest diversity and abundance of mammals in the world. The reasons for this and the mechanisms behind their evolution are given special attention in the series. Each volume follows the same format, with detailed profiles of ev...
The Water Shrew Handbook
The water shrew is one of our least known but most intriguing mammals. This book presents the guide to British water shrews and covers their biology, ecology and conservation. It includes the national distribution maps from the Mammal Society's water shrew survey, and advice on carrying our local studies.
Shrews, Chromosomes and Speciation
Presents new insights into speciation through an in-depth analysis of extraordinary chromosomal variation in one species written by leading experts.
Ecocritical Shakespeare
Can reading, writing about, and teaching Shakespeare contribute to the health of the planet? To what degree are Shakespeare's plays anthropocentric or ecocentric? What is the connection between the literary and the real when it comes to ecological conduct? This collection, engages with these pressing questions surrounding ecocritical Shakespeare, in order to provide a better understanding of where and how ecocritical readings should be situated. The volume combines multiple critical perspectives, juxtaposing historicism and presentism, as well as considering ecofeminism and pedagogy; and addresses such topics as early modern flora and fauna, and the neglected areas of early modern marine ecology and oceanography. Concluding with an assessment of the challenges-and necessities-of teaching Shakespeare ecocritically, Ecocritical Shakespeare not only broadens the implications of ecocriticism in early modern studies, but represents an important contribution to this growing field.
The Biology of Small Mammals
Animals of this size face different physiological and ecological challenges than larger mammals.
