| Mammals of Eastern Asia | |
| 1947 Full Book | |
The eyes of the world are fixed upon the western shores of the Pacific Ocean where millions of men have been locked in a struggle to free, or dominate, those lands and the peoples who inhabit them. Many people whose sons write home from a Pacific A.P.O., to whom Burma, China, Formosa, Japan, and Siberia were scarcely more than names on a map, wish to know the kinds of territories and climates, the manner of peoples, the various sorts of animal and plant life that may be encountered in eastern Asia. In a book recently published, my colleagues and I told about the animals to be found on the islands from Australia to the Kurile and Aleutian Islands. The present volume has been prepared in order to offer the same service in considerable fuller detail for the mammals of the mainland of eastern Asia. Books and articles relating to the mammals of limited portions of the Asiatic margin of the Pacific exist, but are usually either out of print, too technical, written in a foreign language, or for some reason are not usable by the public. The geographical scope of the present work covers som 6000 miles of the Pacific coast of Asia, from northeastern Siberia through Manchuria, China, Burma and Indo-China, to the Malay Peninsula. The mammals of Sakhalin, Japan, and Formosa are included. |
