“This comprehensive and thorough work is again readily available to those interested in the mammals of Nevada and adjacent states. Hall’s careful recording of locations and his noting of ecological factors affecting mammal distribution provide a firm and essential background for modern studies of the taxonomy, ecology, and distribution of mammals in Nevada. Hall gives extensive comments on speciation, ecology, life history, habitat requirements, field methods, and species relationships with humans. His comments on coyote, jackrabbit, and pocket gopher problems and on registered traplines are still surprisingly pertinent.” —A.S. Mossman, CHOICE, July/August 1996
 

"As the best and most thorough of any of the mammal books for the western states, the information contained in Mammals of Nevada serves as the baseline for any and all analyses of diversity for the state of Nevada, and the entire Great Basin." —James L. Patton, past president of the American Association of Mammalogists
 

"Raymond Hall's Mammals not only contains a wealth of date on the distribution and systematics of mammals in the state, it is also filled with observations and interpretations of their natural history, ecology, and biogeography. Several of my early papers were inspired by Hall's insightful commentary. This reprinted volume will be a wonderful resource for the next generation of mamalogists and field biologists." —James H. Brown, Regents' Professor of Biology, University of New Mexico
