"The Natural History of Canadian Mammalstells this country's story in lively ways that are unexpectedly wonderful and warm-blooded."--Randy Boyagoda, The National Post(January 4, 2013) "The Natural History of Canadian Mammals is a magnificent work"--Joseph Morin, Kemptville EMC (Dec 13, 2012) "Naughton writes with the clarity required for a general audience, keeping her language understandable for people without scientific backgrounds."--Anne Watson, Canadian Geographic (December, 2012) 'An engaging, beautiful, useful text that while heavier and bulkier than a smart phone, is infinitely more fun to use, taking its readers down a rabbit hole of other worldliness. From one page to the next Naughton's book is guaranteed to surprise readers I recommend this book to the widest audience possible - BC Studies readers and beyond - in hopes that it might stir in readers an awe for nonhuman life as deep as Naughton's.' --Rosemary-Claire Collard, BC Studies April 2013 (online) 'The loving work of over a decade, this encyclopedia commands respect and offers the old fashioned security that at any moment I can look up any Canadian mammal.' --Severn Cullis-Suzuki, Canada's History, Aug-Sept 2013 'This glossy-paged comprehensive, stunningly illustrated, updated volume of The Natural History of Canadian Mammalsis not just extensive, extremely informative and easy to use, but it can be read and enjoyed by readers all over the planet from inquisitive middle school students and interested adults, to the scientific community.' --Gay Ann Loesch, American Association of School Librarians 'A wonderful work by Donna Naughton In reviewing other published works on the subject there is nothing comparable to The Natural History of Canadian MammalsI highly recommend this book, it is and indispensable contribution to mammalian literature.' --Kevin McDonough, Reference Reviews - vol 28:01:2014 'This outstanding book will be the reference of first choice on mammals in Canada for many years to come.


The accounts are clearly written, full of fascinating detail, technically accurate, and up to date. Equally important, the text is straightforward and readily accessible to the public at large as well as to students and scientists alike. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Canadian mammals and every school should have a copy in their library.'--Dr. Ian Stirling, FRSC, Adjunct Professor, University of Alberta and Scientist Emeritus, Environment Canada.
