Primates of the World: An Illustrated Guide
This text offers readers brief yet substantial information on almost 300 species of primates. More than 70 color plates accompany the primate descriptions. Introductory material provides significant information that is relevant across the primate species, including material on the origins of various primates, predators, social habits, classifications, and more. Note that measurements are provided using the metric system (the work was originally published in French in 2010). Appropriate for students or general readers interested in enhancing their knowledge of primates, this book is a worthwhile purchase for school and public libraries. --Blaire Ranucci
