"The most authoritative, complete and concise atlas of the amazing diversity of the European mammals. It brings together the knowledge of the best experts to serve as an invaluable tool for conservation and as a reference to guide our coexistence with our closest relatives in the animal world." Prof. Luigi Boitani, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy "This monumental book will serve as fundamental reference for all researchers working in mammalogy, ecology, conservation and palaeontology. In the frame of global change such books are necessary to help preserve mammalian biodiversity and organize updated conservation plans for the endangered species. It is a masterpiece resulting for an efficient collaboration between researchers and volunteers in 42 countries." Prof. Emerite Christiane Denys, L'Institut de Systématique, Évolution, Biodiversité, Paris, France "I love furry animals.

I love maps. This new edition of the Atlas of European Mammals brings both together into an essential reference that provides a rapid overview of the state of these 247 species across our continent. A feast for the heart, mind and soul. In a world where we simultaneously drown in information and struggle to find integrated knowledge, the Atlas provides that essential one-stop reference for distribution maps for all of Europe's mammals. A copy should be on the bookshelf of all policy makers, naturalists, consultants and scientists. There are no excuses for not considering the presence of these species." Prof. John Linnell, Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, Lillehammer, Norway.
