East African Mammals: An Atlas of Evolution in Africa, Volume 3, Part C, 6: Bovids Paperback - 1988

by Jonathan Kingdon


From the publisher

Kingdon's remarkable seven-volume masterwork on East African mammals concludes with two volumes on the bovids, placing them in a broad comparative, ecological, and evolutionary context. Volume IIIC covers cattle, water buffalo, kudus, elands, dwarf antelopes, duikers, reedbucks, and waterbucks; IIID covers gazelles, impalas, wildebeests, oryxes, sheep, and goats. In addition to the stunning, lifelike drawings that are an integral part of the text, the volumes include a reappraisal of bovid taxonomy and original analyses of the form and function of body shape and size, horn shape, coat pattern, and tooth structure.

First line

Contemporary agriculture is developing techniques that are turning over an ever larger proportion of the world's primary production to our own use.

From the rear cover

Kingdon's remarkable study of East African mammals concludes with two volumes (IIIC and IIID) on the bovids. The volume (IIIC) ranges through cattle, water buffalo, kudus, elands, dwarf antelopes, duikers, reedbucks, and waterbucks.
