| A short, but quite text heavy little volume on the evolution of mammals, covering the Cenozoic Era with one chapter per epoch but strangely stopping short of the Pleistocene for some reason. The vintage of this publication (1986) makes most of the sp ...more | |

| Oh dear. After the superb first book in the series it was probably a tough act to follow through. True enough, this sequel was a tedious read, filled with the inner thoughts and feelings of numerous characters, both old and new, while there was barel ...more | |

| I am fascinated by the Malayan Emergency and have read quite a number of books, mainly non-fiction in the course of researching and discovering about the subject. The accounts in this book happened during the late 1970s and early 1980s, well after th ...more | |
