“The authors have done a superb job of distilling a vast amount of information on the biology of the terrestrial mammals of the eastern United States in a style that will not only satisfy the expert’s need for accurate data but will also appeal to students and others interested in natural history.” ―James N. Layne, Archbold Biological Station

In their definitive work on eastern mammals, John O. Whitaker, Jr., and W. J. Hamilton, Jr., vividly convey their sheer delight at the variety and abundance of mammalian life. They have brought together a wealth of biological information and applied a biological subspecies concept to the mammals of the eastern United States. Their research extends “from the high reaches of Mount Katahdin in northern Maine, where water shrews and moose hold company,” to the unglaciated hills of southern Indiana, where pygmy shrews (each weighing less than a dime) lived undetected until 1981. From there, they reach to “the cypress swamps of lower Florida, where the spoor of the mountain lion may be seen.”
