Herpetology: An Introductory Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles, 3rd Edition
By Laurie J. Vitt, Janalee P. Caldwell

This third edition, now fully revised and updated by two of Dr. Zug's colleagues,
provides herpetology students and amateur reptile and amphibian keepers with the
latest taxonomy and species developments from around the world. Herpetology is
a rapidly evolving field , which has contributed to new discoveries in many
conceptual areas of biology. The authors build on this progress by updating all
chapters with new literature, graphics, and discussions-many of which have changed
our thinking.

With a new emphasis placed on conservation issues,Herpetology continues to broaden
the global coverage from earlier editions, recognising the burgeoning reptile and
amphibian research programs and the plight of many species in all countries and all
biomes.

New information on the remarkable advances in behavioral, physiological, and phylo-
geographical data provide students with the current research they need to advance
their education and better prepare their future in herpetology.
