This groundbreaking new guide is an authoritative field reference for these two groups of animals.
The taxonomy and systematics of European reptiles and amphibians have changed a lot in recent years, yet there is no modern, up-to-date field guide available that comprehensively covers all the species. The last illustrated field guide to European reptiles and amphibians was first published 38 years ago, and remains out of date despite occasional reprints and new editions. This major new field guide addresses this deficiency. A total of 219 species are covered in detail, with a focus on identification and geographical variation; species texts also cover distribution, habitat and behaviour. Superb color illustrations by talented artist Ilian Velikov depict every species and all major variations, and color photographs are also included for most species. It includes: - Over 370 color artworks and 200 color photographs - 155 accurate and up-to-date distribution maps - Easy-to-use keys and tables to help with swift species identification.
