Mammals: A Very Short Introduction - Very Short Introductions
Kemp, T. S. (Emeritus Research Fellow, St John's College, Oxford)
Relative newcomers within the story of evolution, mammals are hugely successful and have colonized land, water, and air. Tom Kemp discusses the great diversity of mammalian species, and looks at how their very disparate characteristics, physiologies, and behaviours are all largely driven by one uniting factor: endothermy, or warm-bloodedness.
