A wonderful guide to herpetology of Pakistan,
By
This review is from: The Amphibians and Reptiles of Pakistan (Hardcover)
This books is written by probably the only world-renowned herpetologist hailing from Pakistan. M.S. Khan is a well-known author of over a hundred research articles on the subject of herpetology of Pakistan. He has described firsthand many species of snakes, lizards as well as frogs from various parts of Pakistan.This book, in its breadth and scope is the most authoritative treatise on the its subject matter. I hope that this book would rekindle the interest of a layman as well as that of Pakistani zoologists in the field of herpetology.
