General essays and each family chapter include information on the history of scientific discovery, morphology and physiology, natural history, biogeography and phylogeny, care and conservation. Complete pictorial keys to the genera of mammals in Australia are included.

Anyone interested in the mammals of Australia will find this well-illustrated and authoritatively presented volume an indispensable companion.
