ReviewsNotes from Noah, Vol. XXIX, No. 8, May 2002 "
brings to veterinary medicine much needed information on amphibians by two of the most respected and knowledgeable veterinarians working with amphibians today
an excellent, and most likely indispensable, text for veterinarians, caretakers of
amphibians in zoological parks and aquaria, and serious herpetoculturists." Linda Randall, DVM
Sonaran Herpetologist, 15 (04) 2002 "Overall, this is a very useful volume for anyone dealing with amphibians in the field, lab, or clinic. With amphibian disease implicated in many amphibian population die-offs around the world, the education of both field researchers and veterinarians on the details and complexity of amphibian disease is a great step in amphibian
conservation. This volume is the primary resource for anyone taking that step." Caren S. Goldberg
Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 80, No. 6, June 2002 "This text is perhaps the only publication available that brings together detailed, clear information regarding husbandry, diagnostic, medical, surgical and reproductive aspects of captive amphibians. It is an important, if not essential, text in this emerging field. As such it is highly recommended to all who
have an interest in amphibians." Dr. Brendan Carmel
The Southeastern Hot Herp Society Newsletter, Summer 2002 "This book should be on the shelf (next to Fredric Frye's two volume (Biomedical and Surgical Aspects of Captive Reptile Husbandry) of every aquarium, amphibian and reptile department, university science library, veterinarian, and herptile keeper with a concern for the well being of the animals in their care." Manny Rubio

, Vol. 4.4, August 2002 "Amphibian Medicine and Captive Husbandry is principally directed at veterinarians but will also be of value to herpetologists and others with an interest in the care and diseases of amphibians. It is a superb effort and will be the standard text for amphibian medicine for many years. More than recommended, it is essential for anyone with a serious interest in the medical care and pathology of amphibians." Graham Crawshaw, DVM

, 32 (2) 2002 "The editors and principal authors Kevin Wright and Brent Whitaker have done an excellent job compiling this book. They have provided us with a one volume encyclopedia on amphibian health and husbandry. An impressive precedent has been set this book will be a welcome addition to any herpetologist's library."
