The book synthesizes nomenclature, systematics, and descriptions of North American mammal species.

Descriptions of the different species are provided up to Order, highlighting the diagnostic features that allow identifying them promptly while the reader learns how to make subsequent identifications without having the book at hand. Each species comes with potential distribution maps based on existing records in the main museums of North America. The book includes the description, characteristics and distribution maps of the 781 species with range in the North America subcontinent.
