Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Paperback Edition. 2000 . First paperback edition. 270pp., 8 colour plates and over 80 black and white photographs and line drawings. This is a sought after volume in Collins' famous 'New Naturalist Library' series, renowned for its investigative approach to natural history. Building on the solid foundations established by the two earlier New Naturalist volumes on this subject, the authors have brought together a wealth of new information on the British amphibians and reptiles. An introductory chapter looks at the subject of biogeography and how factors such as geological history, latitude and climate affect ecology, life histories and behaviour. The authors then go on to discuss historical interest in amphibians and reptiles, from how they have featured in witchcraft and legends to modern perspectives. A third chapter covers basic biology of amphibians and reptiles, before each of the main groups are examined in further detail. A comprehensive account for each species covers behaviour, life history, reproduction and distribution, as well as ecology and conservation status, areas in which significant discoveries have been made in recent years. There is also a chapter with important new information on the burgeoning number of introduced species in Britain. During the last half century, amphibians and reptiles have been among the most serious casualties of the changing way of life in the British countryside. In recognition of the threats they continue to face, the auhtors dedicate a final, substantial chapter to the increasingly important issue of conservation and discuss the measures needed to be taken to ensure the future survival of the British herpetofauna. The book is in excellent condition with very slight rubbing to the bottom corners of the covers. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. Seller Inventory # Nature108
