"I am confident that Bovids of the World is a valuable addition to any wildlife biologist's library. Those with and without close familiarity to the family Bovidae will have a handy reference for office and field use. Hats off to Jose R. Castello, an M.D. from Spain, for his knowledge and passion to highlight the bovids in such a detailed and taxonomically relevant field guide." --David M. Leslie, Jr., Journal of Wildlife Management, "I often wonder why there hasn't been any really good books dealing with the antelopes, wild cattle, sheep, gazelles and goats of the world. Well I guess I need wonder no more. With the publication of Castello's new book, I have found a resource that will be invaluable as I travel in search of wildlife. . . . As with other Princeton guides, the layout is eye-pleasing and the text factual, informative and inclusive. Ranges, habitats, descriptions, subspecies and behaviour are covered for every species." -- North Durham Nature Newsletter, "This is a handy reference to what I consider the coolest taxonomic family on earth: the bovids. . . . Sit down with it and enjoy these fascinating creatures." ---Matt Miller, Cool Green Science, This volume provides excellent introductory information about hundreds of animals; it will serve a wide range of readers seeking a basic understanding of this subject; high school students, college students, and interested adults will benefit from its content. Libraries working with these populations should consider adding this reasonably priced volume. ---Mark Schumacher, American Reference Books Annual, I am confident that Bovids of the World is a valuable addition to any wildlife biologist's library.

Few books have done more to remind me than Bovids of the World that I've only just scratched the surface of what the planet has to show me. ---Ed Kanze, Bedford (NY) Record-Review, "This is a very good field guide, with excellent illustrations." 'e"Don E. Wilson, curator emeritus, Smithsonian Institution, I often wonder why there hasn't been any really good books dealing with the antelopes, wild cattle, sheep, gazelles and goats of the world. Well I guess I need wonder no more. With the publication of Castello's new book, I have found a resource that will be invaluable as I travel in search of wildlife. . . . As with other Princeton guides, the layout is eye-pleasing and the text factual, informative and inclusive. Ranges, habitats, descriptions, subspecies and behaviour are covered for every species., With this title, new ground has been broken in several ways. Visually, Castelló, a medical doctor, has replaced traditional artists' renderings with photos from global photographers. This is also the first field guide to reflect the revised species list, which recently doubled the number of bovid species from 143 to 279. . . . Castelló fills a void, and this book should generate wide interest in scientists, students, and general reader. . . . This volume may inspire a new generation of conservationists and raise awareness of beautiful, endangered bovids and their perilous situations., "I am confident that Bovids of the World is a valuable addition to any wildlife biologist's library.
