Felines of the World provides a detailed and complete picture of the characteristics of the Felidae family. Starting from the general traits of the Carnivora and the peculiarities of the felids among them, the book is divided into several sections, defining in detail the history of the family and its classification. The main anatomical, ecological and behavioral characteristics of each species are illustrated, with clarity and precision. The author also discusses the general traits of the family from an ecological, ethological and genetic perspective, with particular attention to some phenotypes. There is also a discussion of the role of felids in human culture, and an in-depth study on the threats to their survival from a conservationist perspective. A scientific text in English, full of information, but clear and fluent. Certainly not the book to take under an umbrella, but a precious resource for researchers and enthusiasts, who will find it rigorous and enjoyable. --BioPills
