Foxes (Worldlife Library)
by David MacdonaldFoxes, members of the wild dog family, have long been associated with intelligence and cunning, and they are an integral part of folklore. Worldwide they comprise a group of more than twenty species, all characterized by grace and adaptability. Because they are closely related to domestic dogs, they are seemingly familiar, yet their wildness makes them mysterious. Foxes is a comprehensive guide to the history, evolution, distribution, and social structure of foxes worldwide, from the red fox--the most widely distributed of any wild carnivore--to the Arctic fox--whose range encircles the North Pole--to Blanford's fox--a desert fox discovered in Israel. David Macdonald is Director of the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at Oxford University and holds an A.D. White Professorship at Cornell University and a Senior Research Fellowship at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. He is acknowledged as a world expert on canids and is Chairman of the International United Commission for Nature Canid Specialist Group. Following a childhood fascination with wildlife, Macdonald's research on foxes began in 1972 with work that won the Zoological Society's Huxley Medal and has subsequently led him to publish papers on 15 different species of canid worldwide. He is also known for his documentary films and books, and has twice been awarded the Natural World Natural History Author of the Year Originally from Glasgow, David Macdonald lives with his wife and three children on their smallholding in Oxfordshire.
