Editorial Reviews

Review
A plethora of information in a small package.... will appeal both to the interested student and the casual browser. (Maren Ostergard Booklist )

Product Description

300 of the most abundant and familiar amphibians in nature.

From the Introduction: "A few acres of tropical forest in South America may contain as many as 60 species -- roughly the same number as in the whole of the United States."

This compact reference is a comprehensive visual resource with vibrant color photographs, expert text and detailed species profiles that describe the characteristics, habits, breeding, diet, habitat, distribution and conservation status of 300 of the world's frogs.

Full-page color photographs help identify species in the field, and data sidebars provide the latest knowledge and include genus, common and scientific names. For ease of identification, the extensive index lists frogs by both common and species names.

The authors include specific information on the order Anura, not a minor player in the natural world since it is the "canary in the mine" for our environment. Discovering and understanding such frogs and their necessary place in nature has never been more timely or important. 300 Frogs is a straightforward and authoritative introduction to these fascinating amphibians and an appealing, handy and useful resource for naturalists, amphibian enthusiasts and general readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good information & photos, January 4, 2009
By Trond Sigurdsen (Lier, - Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Despite its somewhat odd title, this book is surprisingly 'complete' in that it covers virtually all the families of frogs known to science (excluding fossil forms). There is an impressive amount of interesting information here, and I would even recommend it to professional zoologists/herpetologists. The image quality is also very good overall. Highly recommended for anyone interested in amphibians!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone interested in frogs!, March 30, 2009
By Karen Gunn (Lawrence, KS USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have several books on frogs because my husband and I keep several species, but of all my books, and some are very expensive reference books, if I had to pick only one book to keep this would be the one. There is so much detailed information and it's all so well organized! And the pictures are awsome! This book is a keeper.
