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.

Illustrated with full color photography throughout, Amphibians And Reptiles Of Pakistan is an extensive compendium of nearly 40 years of research. Intended especially for reptile keepers, zoos, and natural history travelers in Pakistan, Amphibians And Reptiles Of Pakistan offers basic locality, identification details, natural history, and distribution information with maps; the natural history includes compiled notes on each species' feeding habits and life cycle. The stunning photography and meticulous guides to the different families, including a step-by-step key to simplify the identification process, makes determining the species of a reptile of Pakistan as straightforward as possible. A superb scientific reference, unmatched in quality concerning its subject of expertise.
