Critics Review
Francis’s work is a monumental step in raising awareness of these secretive creatures. The book will definitely come with me on my next trip to Southeast Asia. * Quarterly Review of Biology *The 30 years Charles Francis spent in the field in Southeast Asia are evidenced by the complete and thoughtful nature of this guide … This book has already proven very useful in my research and I anticipate relying on it for many years to come. Without it, sources of information would be scattered widely and difficult to find. * Journal of Mammalogy *Both field guide and handbook, this is an important reference for professionals and a very intriguing book for anyone interested in wildlife. * Wildlife Activist *
