This book is among the seminal works on the natural history of lions. Published in 1961, this book has been cited hundreds of times in literature related to lions. For the 1st time, this book is now available online to read. Fabulous lion pictures from the book:

Why is this book crucial:
The book is incredibly detailed cover a vast array of topics regarding lions. Historical distribution, biology, morphology and conservation of the lion is discussed in great detail. Much more is in the book so I shall not spoil it :). All these together make the book crucial for anyone interested in lions (researcher or layman).

Thank you, my friend, for this recommendation! I am ordering a hard copy of the book now.

Didn't read it, but I do know Guggisberg is a reliable observer. One of the best. 
Agreed with BAO: excellent post, Hyena!

I purchased the book, it is expected to ship out on Monday, looking forward to receiving it. Based solely on @TheHyenid76 and your recommendations! Reply
