Book Description

Filled with fascinating details and illustrated with more than 200 striking color photographs, Simon & Schuster's Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of the World provides everything the nature-lover needs to know about these unique and unusual members of the animal kingdom.

An illuminating introduction provides the reader with evolutionary and characteristic information about reptiles and amphibians. The individual entries that follow describe over 200 species -- their physical characteristics, geographical distribution, morphology -- and offer visual symbols for their habitat as well as whether they are poisonous, diurnal or nocturnal. A detailed glossary and index are also included. Simon & Schuster's Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of the World is a spectacular and authoritative reference to these curious and intriguing animals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth It, Jan 22 2011
This review is from: Simon & Schuster's Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of the World (Paperback)
Obviously doesn't list EVERY species of reptiles and amphibians found all across the world, but is an excellent purchase. This guide has a surprisingly large number of animals listed in it, and I was extremely happy with this purchase. If you are looking for information regarding a large number of animals covering the landscape of the globe, then this is the book for you.

This review is from: Simon & Schuster's Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of the World (Paperback)
Simon and Schuster's Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians is one of the most beautifully photographed guides on the market, but also one of the most specific. There are not as many species of newts, salamanders, or snakes mentioned, as in the Peterson Guide to Western Reptiles and Amphibians. Though Simon and Schuster's pales in comparison, it is a solid contribution to field identification. This book contains the species you are most likely to see, as Peterson's contains rarer and uncommon species.
There are two editions of this guide, and one is newly updated. I own the decade old edition of this, and this is probably why it is so specific. Buy the new edition, of course, since it is likely that there are more species added to the original print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simon & Schusters Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians:review, May 7 2000
This review is from: Simon & Schuster's Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of the World (Paperback)
For general information and a quality photo of each animal, this is a very hard book to beat. The book contains information on the most popular species kept as pets throughout the world. I have found it usefull in indentification of several species of turtles and lizards. I would highly recommend this book to anyone needing a quick reference for identification, general habitat and basic requirements of a large selection of reptiles and amphibians. This book gets an A+ on my list.
