Synopsis
Authoritative and engaging, this volume from the Walker's Mammals series focuses on marsupials, pouched animals whose unusual method of reproduction - between egg laying and placental birth - places them in a unique category among mammals. A comprehensive guide to the biology and distribution of marsupials, this book includes common and scientific names, size and physical traits, habitat and ecology, behavior and social interactions, reproduction, life span, and conservation. The text is coupled with illustrations from the collections of leading photographers and the world's greatest museums. An introduction by marsupial expert Christopher R. Dickman describes the evolution and current status of marsupials and reveals why they add so much intrigue to the natural world., A comprehensive guide to the biology and distribution of marsupials, this book includes common and scientific names, size and physical traits, habitat and ecology, behavior and social interactions, reproduction, life span, and conservation.

    Excellent packaging: the books were wrapped in two layers of thin white paper and placed inside a bubble wrap courier bag. Very fast overseas shipping: the order date was 17/10, and the parcel arrived on the 31st. Honest photos and descriptions. Recommended seller. 5 stars !

    Overall buying from here was a fantastic experience! The book arrived at my door in two days, during a flash flood advisory. It was packaged in a grey plastic mailer, secured with extra tape so that the item stayed nice and dry. The book itself is exactly as stated: a fresh new copy. No witting or highlighting, no library stickers. Just a clean, intact copy. This was much cheaper than if had I bought from a major bookstore, so all in all I’m very pleased with my purchase here! Would recommend.
