5.0 out of 5 stars
A treasure trove of turtle information!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Biology and Conservation of Sea Turtles (Paperback)
Biolgy and Conservation of Sea Turtles is a wonderful resource on the natural history of sea turtles, including information on all the different species. While containing a lot of scientific information, it is an easy read for the layperson as well as a more advanced reader. This is the most comprehensive book on sea turtles I have seen. It's a must for any sea turtle enthusiast!
