4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. An excellent update of an excellent guide.Works well On Kindle. Good value for money By Dr See the Amazon description for the updated features to this edition.This the updated version of the Stuart's popular " Field Guide to Mammals of Southern Africa."In now includes Angola, Zambia and Malawi.The book is significantly larger-- I by just over 150 pages.I have both the older Kindle edition and this newer oneThe animal descriptions are excellentBasic detailsIt starts with a brief summary in a green shaded box.It gives the animal's common name and zoolological name.Next length,height at shoulder,weight of male/female. If the animal has horns, details are given.. ( photos often show the horns, and there may be a shot of a young male ( no horns) and a mature male.)Main pointers to identification are carefully summarised. ( later on the animal's footprint is given and their height off the ground compared to a shadow adult man )There is a distribution map of the animals current range, a number of maps note the historic range in a different colour.HornsThese are usually shown in the photos.However some entries also get line diagrams of horns at various ages. Examples includeBlack Wildebeest horns at 6, 12,24, 36 and 48 months.The Greater Kudu, whose horns have a beautiful spiral are possibly the most beautiful. In the mature bull there is a "double "spiral These changes are shown from 9 months to that of a mature Bull in its prime in some 6 stages that take well over30 months plusHorn structure that change with time are shown for some other antelope. I found these diagrams interesting.PhotosThe photos are excellent.Where a number of books have one , there are often several.Where there is a difference between male and female this is often shown.Shots of mother's with young are fairly frequent.. Some antelope hide their young for a period after their birth. In the section on Puku , there is a good photo of a Puku lamb curled up hidden in longish grass.Important points of identification are captured in the shots, in some cases to make sure you got the point, a clear detail shot or inset is included-- the black stripe on the Impala's buttock area., or the black blaze on the face of the Black faced Impala.-- I could pick more difficult examples , but this is just to make a point about their attention to detail and keenness for you to grasp the details better. ( I am currently struggling to get clear in my mind various antelope,bucks and bocks etc and I have found both their descriptions and pictures very helpful.)The photos are of a good size. They upscale well on the IPadDescriptionsThe descriptions give details on animal identification,distribution, habitat, behaviour, food, social features, reproduction, longevity etc.These descriptions are fairly full and certainly informative.Summary.There is a very useful A--Z common animal name linked access at the front of the book.If you want Zebra, push Zebra.If you want Hyraxes push Hyraxes and so on.The Stuart's have continued to improve their excellent guide.It now includes Angola, Zambia and Malawi. New species from these areas are included in the book.-- sorry I am still tracking them down.What makes the book for me-- the plentiful and excellent photos often showing male / female shots and some female shots may have the female with their offspring. Helpful shot of points of identification are often included.Almost as good is their text which covers many matters you want to know about as you get to know the animals better.All in all , this is an excellent book .It works well on my IPad Kindle Reader.It is excellent value for money
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent By sborg Excellent field guide. Might be a little too heavy to carry in the field, but it would be an excellent reference to peruse when back in camp. I'm looking forward to using it.
