See more detail | | Skulls and Bones
A great book for trackers- and naturalists-in-training, approaching the subject from the angle of learning to "read" skeletal structures to identify the animals' lifestyle and habits, therefore identifying the animal, whose skull and bit of scattered skeleton you have perhaps discovered in the field. Though the book does not shy away from scientific language and understanding, the author has purposefully written a book that is as accessible, friendly, understandable, and clear as possible, and it definitely comes through.
