Editorial Reviews
Choice
"Many reptiles and amphibians, of which this work provides an overview, are suffering the effects of human activity, especially habitat destruction. Introductory chapters that treat animal classification, physiology, ecology, evolutions, behavior, and conservation are followed by examples of the various groups of reptiles and amphibians. Descriptions include life cycles, adaptations and habitats, food, enemies, and problem introductions. Drawings and photographs, of which there are many, are excellent."
Christopher Lever in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 1999
"...this splendidly superb book, which has been thoroughly updated and revised, includes chapters on the classification, history, habitats, adaptations and behaviour of reptiles and amphibians and, of special importance, the steps necessary for their conservation and a halt to the decline of populations of threatened species. Illustrated by more than 200 superb photographs and 100 paintings, maps and diagrams, and written by a team of international herpetologists, this book is a splendid introduction to the varied world of reptiles and amphibians."
