The Mammals of Israel

Rating:
Summary: Where Art Meets Science
Review: Walter Ferguson is a wonderful and very talented artist as demonstrated by the super realistic paintings of Israel's mammals, and the icing on the cake is the scientific twist that adds clear context and descriptions of the subject mammals, their habits, habitat, and distribution. This book does a great job in combining the worlds of fine art with the disciplines of science. The book is like a small private art collection as well as a fascinating guide to mammals of a land that is not known for its wildlife.
