*Uninstalling/reinstalling the program will result in the loss of your list; it is recommended that you export the list regularly to avoid any loss of data.

Wilson is a senior scientist at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. His books include The Smithsonian Book of North American Mammals and Mammal Species of the World. "The controls are intuitive, and users will learn quickly how to access information about each species by tapping on different parts of the screen. Readers can search by common or scientific names, and can have the list of animals ordered alphabetically or taxonomically. Under 'Smart Search' entries can be accessed by such categories as 'seagoing mammals' and 'carnivores.' A glossary is also available. In many ways, this app is more valuable than the original book as a tool for anyone who needs help identifying mammals."--Andrea Lipinski, Touch and Go blog (School Library Journal) "With over 400 mammals listed in this comprehensive book, you are sure to be a nature expert in no time. This book app is loaded with 462 land and marine mammals for you to learn about. Each mammal has at least one, usually more, illustrated representation. Most include a scat or 'droppings' drawing and many show a representation of the mammal's tracks. There are also over 150 audio clips of sounds that some of the mammals make. You can hear the howl of a wolf, the high-pitched whine of a vole or the eerie growl of a raccoon. . . . Overall, this is an exciting and educational digital book that offers hours of engagement."--AppAdvice.com "The architecture of the app is very similar to the Sibley eGuide and I think it is an intuitive, friendly & information-rich interface. For those wishing for a comprehensive guide to our taxonomic classmates without dragging another book along, this is an amazing resource to squeeze into one's smartphone."--Bill Schmoker, American Birding Association Blog Another Princeton book authored or coauthored by Roland W.
