About the author

Amy-Jane Beer is a biologist and writer. She has written more than 30 books about science and natural history including Cool Nature and The A-Z of Wildlife Watching. She has also edited a number of wildlife publications including Animals, Animals, Animals and Wildlife World magazine.
The natural sciences have been a lifelong fascination for her, and her childhood enthusiasm was formalised at Royal Holloway University of London, where she graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Biology, then spent years squinting down a microscope and fretting over the welfare of a tank full of sea urchin larvae to earn a PhD.

Reviews

[Ryan]

Nicely illustrated animal reference guide aimed at younger readers. Format of the book is unique in being very tall and narrow, so it resembles a compilation of index cards. Focus is on temperate countries, the typical African savanna megafauna, with quite a handful of marine mammals thrown in as well.

nice book

[Ami Morrison]

Over 240 fact filled portraits of mammals. Tons of great information. Really great to learn about all of these beautiful animals.
