Rats. All about rats. A nice concise and tidy little volume with nine chapters ranging from "Animal or Monster" to "Man and Rat." Nicely illustrated with a lot of historical content, including a pretty definitive chapter on "Rat Kings." A rat king is a conglomeration of rats tied at the tail. So far, all rat kings have been posthumous, postmortem, and quite dead. In addition to this delectable subject, there is nice coverage of rat behavior from jumping to humping.
There is definitely a larger body of literature on the genus Rattus but the casual rat-o-phile can't go wrong in obtaining a used copy of this book to add to their library.

The rat of course I rate first. he lives in your house without helping you to buy it or build it or repair it or keep the taxes paid; he eats what you eat without helping you raise or buy it or even haul it into the house; you cannot get rid of him; were he not a cannibal, he would long since have inherited the earth. -William Faulkner, The Reivers

Long before I first heard the squeal of a rat, I had noticed the V-shaped ripples in the ditches along the smallholdings owned by my father and grandfather.

In fact, however, his Walden Two is nothing but Aldous Huxley's Brave New World or the happy state George Orwell has described so impressively in his 1984.
