Reviews

"In its relatively short life, Mark Elbroch's guidebook about mammal tracks has become a classic. It is, after all, the most comprehensive guide available
on the topic, eminently useable and filled withhundreds of photos and illustrations. In addition to visual and textual material on how to recognize tracks, Elbroch includes other clues helpful in making an accurate identification including scat, urine, ground and plant signs."--National Outdoor Book Awards
