Covers many different groups

I had a look at several books from this series in the reference section of my library. The information from all meshed with that I found in other sources. It's all introductory material, as would be expected from such a series, but there was information given for many different groups, rather than focusing only on the most well known cultures. I don't recall now whether or not the entry Lion included information about the Egyptians as I made notes on what I didn't already know, but three other groups were also mentioned. The entry Leopard also had similar substance. These would provide a good starting point for further research.
