Matthews L. Harrison
British Mammals
London: Readers Union / Collins 1960. Well illustrated octavo pp xii 410 a tiny suggestion of foxing to the fore-edge and the endpapers otherwise an exceptionally clean copy internally green cloth in very good condition. A very pleaseing copy. The study of our mammals during the present century has been wide and intensive. On the whole it has been conducted by workers who are general naturalists ecologists anatomists physiologists - but not purely mammalogists. Dr. Matthews himself is a general naturalist of wide experience and distinction but here he has done what British natural history has wanted for half a century - written a synthesis of our knowledge of mammals which treats them as mammals. And what an exciting synthesis it is! The ordinary amateur naturalist is bound to be astonished at the remarkable discoveries about the distribution life history and habits of our British mammals that Dr. Matthews has collected together in his book. These advances are shown perhaps most clearly in the case of the bats. There has been a revolution in our knowledge of the breeding-cycle of these interesting creatures with its curious problems of delayed fertilisation and delayed implantation; and the discovery of the method by which bats navigate in the dark by means of echo-sounding here given at that time its most lucid exposition in an English publication is quite remarkable. Undoubtedly this book stimulated a revival of British mammalogy. The subject which has had up to now a largely hidden following has been handicapped by the lack of a periodical devoted to mammals and by the lack of any recent synthetical book. For instance the only important systematic treatise on the British mammals of the present century was left unfinished nearly sixty years ago. Cloth. Very Good. Readers Union / Collins Hardcover
