    Very good. Strongly recommended along side The Stuart's Gide to Mammals of Sothern Africa ,,, 2015
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2015*

I have the Kindle Version-- it works well on the IPad Kindle Reader.NoteI live in New Zealand at the bottom of the World. Postage is expensive so I tend to go for books that are on Kindle.Check of paperback and hardbacks if postage isn!t a big issue to you.BOOK REVIEWThis is a very good field guide.--amazon's see inside gives you some idea how the book is set out -- the examples shown are of bats-- not my first choice.I think this book and another are well worth thinking about , especially if you like kindle books.The other book is "The Stuart's Guide toMammals of Southern Africa, including Angola, Zambia and Malawi "( referred as the Stuart's ) 2015 editionSmithers edition by P Apps. About 350 pages.  Stuart's text  about 450 pagesText much the same as Stuart's-- the Stuart's text is more structuredBoth have very helpful text.Maps of animal distribution much the sameSpoor ( footprints ) much the sameIllustrationsSmither's excellent coloured drawings- only one per  animal, but shows the various zebra types.Stuart's -- very crisp colour photos.If there is a difference between male and female that is shown , sometimes see female with youngSome detailed photos of important features, usually close upFacial blaze would be a common example-- does the white strip go up to eye level or above. Is it continuous etc-- I am trying to learn about the many antelopeBoth have panels with quick major facts.both have quick access to information by a link at start of bookI prefer the Stuart's book.For me I get more photos that often illustrate male and female when you can tell them apart.Some antelope have one diagrams of horn development by age which I find helpfulThe detailed photos help one remember a detail on how to tell similar looking animals. I think the Stuart's apparently to animal height  is much easier to follow and is within the text on the animal in question. ( in Smither's it is separated. )I have both and use both.Other booksI have given a list of some important books you should know about here"Touring South Africa's National Parks "M Brett.It took me a while to find them and I was very pleased with them.The editor of the Revised Smither's book is Peter AppHe has done an excellent book on Animal Behaviour.It is animal specificSee my review

The drawings are very nice and I love the information about the topography and ecosystem types across Africa in the beginning;however, this book’s text is bigger than a field guide should be and text heavy too. I will not be bringing this out with me but will rather read it at night in my tent while I’m in Africa. It’s just not concise enough to walk around with all day and it isn’t as easy to find the mammals in the book as I would like. Still nice though.

Author is an old family friend and his work is the staple of anyone serious about African fauna.Hey Peter, Thanks again. I grew up with your work in the house.
