Mammals of India : Includes every species seen in India with New Information, Art and Range Map. / A.J.T. Johnsingh. - , Gurugram : HarperCollins Publishers India , 2026. - xxiii, 846p. 22.8 x 22.8 x 1.9cm.
From the lush wetlands of the Sunderbans to the stunning salt waters in the Rann of Kutch and the snowy peaks of the Himalayas to the tropical rainforests in the Deccan, an astonishing variety of mammals co-exists with and sustains human life in India. But the significance of this interconnection is poorly understood.
Mammals of India is the first comprehensive guide that tries to fill this gap, documenting the more than 450 currently recognized species of Indian mammals thriving in the rich zoogeography of the subcontinent, including key subspecies and hypothetical occurrences.
Written with clarity and precision, it not only provides details on the taxonomy, habitats, population and conservation status of these mammals but also examines the key climatological challenges they have had to adapt to over time and outlines the history of India's geomorphological evolution. Full of striking illustrations and distribution maps, this is the perfect guide for experts, scholars and enthusiasts and a timely contribution to the field of wildlife protection.
