A basic but thorough introduction

This is a fairly simple book, but it's ideal for someone who wants a good overview and introduction to pronghorns (which actually are pretty "wondrous" animals in a lot of ways) but doesn't need a lot of technical details. Well illustrated (with black-and-photographs), it provides a lot of interesting information on their evolutionary background, habitat and range, physical features (including some things that surprised me, although I live near pronghorn and thought I knew a little about them), herd behavior, and so on. Even though it's actually a "children's book" (apparently aimed at about the junior high or early high school level), most adults would probably find it a very informative and interesting introduction. I'm an adult who's interested in pronghorns and I have a couple of other books about them as well, but I think "Wonders of the Pronghorn" actually gives the best introduction without getting either too simplistic or too technical.
