5.0 out of 5 stars The Herpetologists Field Guide, February 24, 2000

This review is from: Bill Branch's Field Guide to the Snakes and Other Reptiles of Southern Africa (Hardcover)

Bill Branch's brilliant book provides an excellent reference for the amateur herpetologist and other interested parties. Covering all the reptiles of the sub-region from the Nile Crocodile to the Geometric tortoise it is filled with interesting and relevant information in an easy to read format. Additionally it includes over 100 colour photographs for easy identification. There is also a chapter which covers the ethics and methods of collecting reptiles - essential reading if you are planning to start out in this field. In my opinion Bill Branch has provided us with the best herpetological Field Guide available today. Published by Struik, this book conforms to the high standard of their other titles in this series.
