Its maps and photographs will be a cornerstone of much future work on the ecology, taxonomy and conservation of these species. Prof. Raul Valdez, New Mexico State University, USA: the seminal reference work for the general public, specialists and hunters. Prof. Sandro Lovari, University of Siena, Italy, Past Chair, IUCN Caprinae Specialist Group: anyone who is interested in Caprinae conservation, anyone who wants to conserve and/or hunt them, anyone who is in love with the evocative, unique landscapes where they dwell should own this book. John J. Jackson, III, Chairman Conservation Force, USA: This is the atlas many of us have been waiting for the coverage of the book includes range, management, genetics whatever you desire; it is the ultimate information source. Never has there been such a resource book. Craig Boddington: This is the most complete and most definitive work on the subject ever compiled It will long serve as a critical reference for conservationists, hunters, and naturalists, both professional and amateur.

Caprinae taken in their natural habitats and close-up photos of horns and skulls from world-renowned museum collections. The 130 detailed color distribution maps were drawn specifically for this book by renowned cartographer Mike Shand, University of Glasgow. Bodo Meier, German wildlife aquarellist par excellence created the majestic markhor and argali aquarelles on the dust covers (standard edition) and the frontispieces (collectors edition). The meticulously researched CIC Caprinae Atlas of the World presents an overview on the distribution ranges of the wild sheep, goats and their relatives; their physical appearance, life history, conservation status and sustainable use and addresses a wide variety of stakeholders: policy makers who create the administrative and legislative frameworks for Caprinae conservation; field researchers and taxonomists who are at work to fill knowledge gaps; public, communal and private landowners on whose lands wild Caprinae dwell; management authorities who need to find holistic conservation solutions; hunters who are getting intense emotional rewards from pursuing wild sheep and goats and their relatives; and last but not least the women and men who follow the tracks of wild sheep and goats to admire and photograph them in their wild and magnificent mountain homes. HM Juan Carlos I of Spain, a passionate hunter and a Patron of the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation, wrote the prologue to the Atlas and recognized the resulting two tomes as a magnificent and unique set of books describing the glorious landscapes and game of the wild mountain regions of the world. The two authors presented Juan Carlos I, with the number 1 set of the special leather-bound sponsors edition of the Atlas. Standard Edition Two volume set.
