Handbook of the Mammals of the World, volume 5: Marsupials
It’s here at last!
The fifth volume of the HMW is out — after a long final home straight with untold finishing touches and improvements to the plates. In end there are 400 illustrations of over 350 species. Wow!
It was tough going but worth it, and was possible thanks to the meticulous support provided by Lynx Edicions and, above all, to Albert Martínez who supervised the production of the plates.
Here are a few examples of some of the plates.
