This book is a 'must have' for herpetology-oriented biologists and serious amateursIt is an indispensable teaching tool and a valuable reference. Since the publication of the first edition, every student who has taken my herpetology course has been required to have a copy and every student with whom I have spoken since has kept their copies after the class was over." - Arthur C. "Sandy" Echternacht, University of Tennessee, Knoxville

"This comprehensive key to the native and introduced species of amphibians and nonavian reptiles, with its excellent artwork and insightful synopses of the many taxonomic controversies, will be of considerable interest to amateur and professional herpetologists and many natural history organizations." - Brian T. Miller, Middle Tennessee State University
