A richly detailed work of natural history, Rodents: Their Lives and Habits presents a comprehensive survey of one of the most diverse and widespread mammalian orders on Earth. Peter W. Hanney chronicles the biology, behaviour, and ecology of a remarkable range of species — including the squirrel, beaver, porcupine, hamster, lemming, marmot, coypu, and gerbil — drawing readers into the surprisingly complex worlds these animals inhabit. With illustrations by Jenny Agnew complementing the authoritative text, the book details everything from feeding strategies and reproductive cycles to social structures and survival adaptations. Written with the clarity and depth of a seasoned naturalist, it argues persuasively that rodents, often overlooked or misunderstood, are among the most ecologically significant creatures on the planet. An essential reference for wildlife enthusiasts, students of zoology, and anyone with a curiosity about the natural world.
