"The best book on its subject ever to appear . an essential purchase for any zoo holding animals from the region it is devoted to . every zoo should buy this book." Nicholas Gould (International Zoo News 51/2, March 2004) "This is a landmark publication and the reference for all those interested in maintaining animals in captivity. It matters not whether you are a professional, research institution, wildlife carer, National Parks personnel or an enthusiastic amateur - this book is for you . I believe it will become a 'must have' volume on the library shelves of people seriously interested in the future of Australian mammals." Ed McAlister AO, President, World Association of Zoos and Aquariums "It is hard to find good sources of husbandry and management on these animals outside of Australia, so having all of the information in a single book source is invaluable for me both as an author and as a practicing veterinarian."
