Stuarts’ Field Guide to the Tracks & Signs of Southern, Central and East African Wildlife provides detailed coverage of tracks, droppings, bird pellets, nests and shelters, and feeding signs, not only for mammals, but also for birds, reptiles, insects and other invertebrates. First published in 1994, it has since been comprehensively revised and greatly expanded, making it the standard reference on the subject in the region. This new edition – featuring additional updates, a revised title and a new cover – retains the unique approach to identification that made the earlier editions so useful and popular: multiple full-colour photographs of all tracks and signs; detailed descriptions, track sketches and measurements; photographs of animal species to supplement the tracks and signs; advice on where to look for tracks and signs and how to interpret them. Navigation is by means of a set of keys showing the shape and size of the tracks and signs, allowing readers to navigate quickly to the animal or group of species responsible for the track in question. Keys on the inside covers help readers access information even faster. Sales points: Authoritative, highly detailed guide to a popular subject; new cover and title matches distinctive branding of authors’ other books; full-colour photographs throughout; expert authors with extensive field experience.
