Cuba is the largest island in the Greater Antilles, has 59 living species of mammals, and has been considered the most diverse island in the Caribbean. The study of mammalian distributions and taxonomy on the island was started by Dr. Silva Taboada in 1974 with his classic book Las Especies Amenazadas de Vertebrados Cubanos (Silva Taboada 1974) and followed by additional contributions in mammalogy (Silva Taboada 1979, 1988, 2002) , culminating in the appearance of this book in 2007. The 2 coauthors, both professional researchers, also have worked actively in the study of mammals for many years. This book is an attempt to summarize the scientific data available for Cuban mammals since the 1st effort published in the 19th century (Gundlach 1840, 1877). The information in the book is well presented, including several figures that help the reader to understand the concepts and animals described in the text. The authors note that 10,000 years ago the mammalogical fauna of Cuba was composed of at least 96 species of rodents, primates, shrews, and sloths. However, the orders Primates (other than humans) and Pilosa are now extinct on Cuba, and the diversity of rodents and shrews is much decreased. The book proposes to update information on the past and present status of 24 terrestrial species of mammals. The authors note that the taxonomic status of some of these species has changed during the last century, and follow changes leading to the currently recognized taxonomy. The manuscript is dedicated to Oscar Arredondo de la Mata (19182001) , a pioneer in the study of the endemic mammals of Cuba. EB; 466 pages.
