It took several years to produce the entire series of the Handbook of the Mammals of the World. The comprehensive Illustrated Checklist of the Mammals of the World forms an impressive finale to the series. The 2 volume set updates the taxonomy of each currently recognized species of mammal, providing a complete checklist over the two volumes. Volume 1 covers Monotremata through to Rodentia.

The new illustrated checklist incorporates all recently published revisions in new, brief species accounts for each species. In addition to the updated scientific name of each species, each account includes common names in English, French, German and Spanish, and the IUCN Red List Conservation Category. Taxonomic notes incorporate recent changes, and updated distributions are also included. If subspecies are recognized, they are updated along with their current distributions. Accompanying each species account is a scientific illustration in full color, adapted from the earlier volumes, along with a revised distribution map.
