Folio; original blue boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; decorative endpapers; pp. 121 + (vii); full-colour photographs; distribution maps; tables; some line drawings. Spine panel of dustwrapper somewhat sunned; some damp-staining and rippling to bottom edges. Good. "The bearded seal with its long silver moustache, the adorable baby harp seal, the bizarre-looking walrus, and many other unusual creatures are waiting in the pages of this fascinating book! Illustrated with an abundance of luscious color photographs and selected historical drawings, Seals describes the characteristics of the thirty-five species in the pinniped family, discusses the history of our interaction with these animals, confronts issues of conservation, and even provides tips for going on seal watching trips. With a handy chart that offers a quick reference for all the facts on each species, Seals is an informative and thoroughly enjoyable introduction to the world of seals.".
