Bibliography

David Ride produced a field guide to Australia's mammals in 1970, a subject that had not been addressed since the publication of the second edition of Furred Animals of Australia in 1944. Although Ride's guide only provided brief diagnostic accounts of mammalian fauna, the work was the only generally available book until the Australian Museum issued the standard text of Australian mammalogy for its series National Photographic Index of Australian Wildlife.^[2] As well as numerous papers in the scientific literature, books written or edited by Ride include:
