For those with a grasp of palaeontological phraseology and with some
anatomical awareness, The Evolution of Western Eurasian Neogene Mammal Faunas
offers a fascinating insight into the extinct mammals of Europe鈥檚 recent past.
It makes no concessions to populism and so is definitely one for the specialist
only. Which leaves the popular book still to be written. Edited by Raymond
Bernor, Volker Fahlbusch and Hans-Walter Mittmann, published by Columbia
University Press, 拢74/$106, ISBN 0231082460.
