We are very proud to inform our followers that the outstanding six volume set, Mammals of Africa, was awarded the Dartmouth Medal by the American Library Association. #ElephantVoices Dr. Joyce Poole was lead author for the detailed chapter on Loxodonta africana - the African savannah elephant, co-authoring with Drs. Paula Kahumbu and Ian Whyte. Referring to Mammals of Africa, the citation said: The Dartmouth Medal, established in 1974, honors the creation of a reference source of outstanding quality and significance. The award [for 2014] is given to the best new reference source published in 2013. This amazing source is the result of 15 years of detailed work. Covering every recognized mammalian species in Africa, it will serve as a rich source of information and as a baseline for preserving the biodiversity of this great continent. The illustrations, maps, charts and material are all outstanding. This work will be consulted by students and scholars for many years.
