Summary: "Mammals of the Southwest Mountains and Mesas" by George Olin is a scientific publication written in the early 1960s. This work focuses on the diverse mammalian species inhabiting the mountainous regions of the southwestern United States, particularly above the desert environments. The book aims to educate readers about the specific adaptations and ecological roles of these mammals, as well as the challenges they face in a rapidly changing environment. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the geographical context of the Southwest, highlighting how the area serves as a unique habitat for various life forms due to its elevation and climate variations. Olin introduces the concept of "life zones," explaining how these distinct ecological areas influence the distribution of mammal species. The introduction serves as a reminder of the historical human impact on these environments and emphasizes the importance of conservation. It hints at the detailed descriptions and categorization of the mammals that will follow, aiming to deepen the reader's understanding of the intricate balance of life within this unique ecosystem.
