Description

Reviews

This is the only book dealing with the entire herpetofauna of Trinidad and Tobago, covering 130 species and subspecies as well as the environment of the two islands and the natural history of the herpetofauna. The book contains illustrated keys, 111 range maps, 101 line drawings and figures, and 172 color photographs. More than 90% of the forms are illustrated in color. Professional and amateur herpetologists, environmentalists, conservationists, and ecotourists will find this volume useful.

"An authoritative, well-documented, easy to read, and informative work. Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students and faculty." -- E. D. Keiser, University of Mississippi, Choice, September 1997.

"The author is well qualified to present his subject in a scholarly way but also provides lucid explanations for a layperson...this title certainly should be on the shelves of libraries with natural history collections or an interest in the fauna of islands or of South and Central America." -- Constance Rinaldo, American Reference Books Annual, 1998.

"Its overall caliber makes it a must for anyone interested in neotropical herpetology, and it sets a good standard for other geographical guides." -- Hinrich Kaiser, Department of Biology, La Sierra University, Herpetological Natural History, Vol. 5(1), 1997.
