Beschreibung

In the twenty years since the first edition of this book appeared, there has been a veritable explosion of information on seals. All aspects of their biology have been studied in great detail, and man's exploitation of them - be it for fur, food or the faurground - have often made the news headlines. To distil this ever-increasing amount of literature into one volume has been no mean feat but within this single book are described all 34 species of seals, a cosmopolitan group that includes sea lions, fur and 'true' seals an the walrus. Each description, which includes information on their feeding, breeding, behaviour, exploitation etc is supported by a distribution map and in all but one a full-colour picture. London & Oxford. British Museum (Natural History) & Oxford University Press. 240 pp., num. figs, color & b/w photos, tabs, hardback gr. 8 [19.5 x 25 cm] [with dust jacket]. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers W35863
