Reseña del editor:

Our amphibians and reptiles hold a fascination for young and old alike. Often very beautiful and frequently misunderstood, they are worthy of closer acquaintance and greatly reward attentive study in the field.

It is the most authoritative, easy to use, and beautifully designed guide available, with a stunning selection of photographs unsurpassed anywhere.
