5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to the reptiles of Europe, May 15, 2000

This review is from: Reptiles and Amphibians of Britain & Europe (Collins Field Guide) (Hardcover)

I am a soldier in the U.S. Army stationed in Kosovo for 6 months. I bought this book to try and identify any reptiles that I might encounter while serving my tour. I could not have made a better choice. The book covers all of Europe west of the Ural Mountains (including Ireland). It lists all amphibians and reptiles withing that range. The keys are very well written, and the corresponding line drawings are exellent. The book also covers many of the variations that occur withing the European lizards. I would recomend this book for the above reasons, over any book that only covers western Europe/Britain because this book also covers easter Europe, which is becoming more and more open to the west every year. This book could be a very big help to any herpetologist who is planing on travel anywhere in Europe, especially on the identification of the lacertids.

I found this book in the local library,and for a book that was written in 1978,it makes a very good spotters guide to the wildlife of Britain and Europe.A good book to use if you are a traveller,or just interested in wildlife in general.
