5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent field guide, Aug 28 2001
This review is from: PA-Field Gde Amphib/Reptiles Maya World: The Lowlands of Mexico, Northern Guatemala, and Belize (Paperback)
This book is perfect for anyone interested in herps in the Maya Forest. Complementary to Campbell's field guide, but also includes great line drawings, range maps, and characteristics to distinguish from similar species. Also, better photos than in Campbell's guide. If I were to buy one field guide for the area, I'd choose this over Campbell's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amphibians and Reptiles of the Maya world, Aug 22 2000
By 
James R. Dixon, Ph.D. (Bryan, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PA-Field Gde Amphib/Reptiles Maya World: The Lowlands of Mexico, Northern Guatemala, and Belize (Paperback)
Julian C. Lee's field guide of the amphibians and reptiles of the Maya world is excellent. The color photographs make it easy to identify the animal in question; the maps give the reader the distribution of the form; the text gives a short synopsis of the characters and natural history of the taxon; the photos, line drawings, and the PRICE make it all worth while. Any person visiting the outback of the Yucatan Peninsula needs a copy of this book. All Nature Touring Companies should have it available for their clients. A wonderful addition for any professional herpetologist bookshelf.
