Herpetology: An Introductory Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles

by Laurie J. Vitt, George R. Zug, Janalee P. Caldwell

Herpetology, Second Edition has been thoroughly revised. The text has been reorganized, new chapters have been added, new text references have been inserted. All this plus new color systematics sections will maintain this book as THE leading textbook on the biology of amphibians and reptiles. The book will also showcase reptiles and amphibians as model systems in conceptual areas of biology. Such a text will help integrate herpetology as a discipline into conceptually oriented undergraduate programs. The book should also appeal to a large audience of sophisticated lay people interested in reptiles and amphibians.

First of I LOVE THIS BOOK. Why? because this book offers a lot of information about amphibians and reptiles hence the title herpatology. Another thing it offers is that it has good illustration of the different amphibians and reptiles. Yes, it has 697 pages but it is an awesome book (in my opinion). I dare you to read it, if your brave enough!

Very detailed textbook on Herpetology. A daunting read, but provides a good overview on the different herps. Some evolutionary content, mostly towards the beginning.

Intense, but very interesting.

This book is an outstanding introduction to herpetology. It does require some basic biology knowledge, but does a good job of covering all the main topics of herpetology. This one's a keeper as a reference.
