In the forests of Brazil live the spiny rats, their coats bristling with stiff hairs, and Joao Moojen sorts out their tangled family tree. He works through paleontology and the variation within the subgenus Proechimys. A specialist's study of speciation in a little-known tropical rodent. A window into the diversity hidden in South American undergrowth.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
