Bovids are a diverse group of ruminant mammals that have hooves and unbranched hollow horns. Bovids of the World is the first comprehensive field guide to cover all 279 bovid species, including antelopes, gazelles, cattle, buffaloes, sheep, and goats. From the hartebeest of Africa and the takin of Asia to the muskox of North America, bovids are among the world's most spectacular animals and this stunningly illustrated and easy-to-use field guide is an ideal way to learn more about them.
The guide covers all species and subspecies of bovids described to date. It features more than 300 superb full-color plates depicting every kind of bovid, as well as detailed facing-page species accounts that describe key identification features, horn morphology, distribution, subspeciation, habitat, and conservation status in the wild. This book also shows where to observe each species and includes helpful distribution maps.

《脊椎动物比较解剖学》第一版。程红曾是我的研究生，毕业后长期在动物形态学领域从事教学和科研工作，并到国外研修。《脊椎动物比较解剖学》第二版是在她的倡议并作了大量前期工作才得以启动的。另外，她接替我讲授本课的多年经验和收集的同学反馈意见，都为《脊椎动物比较解剖学》的修订作了铺垫。《脊椎动物比较解剖学》新增加了第三作者姚锦仙，她对第三章脊椎动物的胚胎发生和发育以及第十五章内分泌系统的内容进行了修改和补充，并为骨骼系统和肌肉系统增加了人类骨骼肌肉的特点以及与生物力学相关的内容。《脊椎动物比较解剖学》统稿工作由姚锦仙负责。此外，她在为第二版的立项申请、与责任编辑的联系、补充文献资料等方面作了大量工作。

这是第一本以书信形式介绍灵长类及其进化的科普书。
人类栖息于地球上，与猿猴同属灵长类。但是我们表现得更像自然界中暴富的乞丐，不仅六亲不认，而且要尽量撇清自己与其他动物的关系。我们把一切污垢都归于兽性，却把所有光环都归于人性。
本书以生动活泼的问答手法，分别对猿猴的进化与分类、身体与健康、美食与生活、性爱与繁殖、行为与文化、社会与交往、智能与心理七个方面给出了系统的科学描述。读者通过了解猿猴，亦增加对自然的归属感。人类、猿猴及其栖息环境是相互依偎的生态系统。维护生态系统的稳定，使我们的责任和立命之本。
