Rodents of the World

Comprehensive guide to the form, function, evolution, and reproduction of the order Rodentia, including information on their distribution and interaction with people. Although the taxonomy of rodents is an area of some disagreement within zoology, the author includes sections on beavers, squirrels, gophers, mice, and rats, among others. Maps, photographs, and descriptions of specific species round out this careful analysis of the largest of the mammalian orders.
