Items related to Amphibians and Reptiles in Captivity (Annotated)
Synopsis
In recent years the number of people interested in keeping amphibians and reptiles in captivity has grown rapidly. All too often, these same people have little knowledge of the proper care needed for their captives, nor do they know where to turn in order to learn the needs of their animals.Pet stores generally do not have the expertise to give out proper information on the identification and care of amphibians or reptiles. The booklets they sell on the subject are too general and too vague.It is the intent of the authors of this special issue to offer the proper information needed to successfully keep amphibians and reptiles in captivity. We are by no means THE experts on the subject, nor do we claim to cover all the facts. However, we do hope that enough information is furnished to answer most of the common questions asked by people.The bibliography has a list of books which go into more detail on amphibians and reptiles: their identification, and natural history, range, and care in captivity. Room did not permit the inclusion of amphibian diseases—thus, the bibliography will be of help there.Due to the decline in the majority of crocodilians in the world, the authors do not condone their being kept in captivity by amateur herpetologists. We also contend that venomous reptiles, as well, do not belong in a private collection.

Paperback. Condition: OKAZ. À Varsovie, au coeur d'un hiver glacial, l'inspecteur Mortka est appelé un samedi matin aux aurores sur les lieux d'un incendie criminel. Dans les ruines fumantes d'une villa d'un quartier chic, on découvre le corps de Jan Kameron, un businessman qui a connu des revers de fortune. Sa femme Klaudia, une ex-star éphémère de la chanson, lutte pour sa vie à l'hôpital. Mortka espère d'abord qu'il s'agisse d'un règlement de comptes lié aux affaires pas toujours limpides de Kameron. Mais bien vite, il lui faut se rendre à l'évidence : un pyromane sévit dans les rues de la capitale, balançant des cocktails Molotovs par les cheminées et semant la mort sur son passage. Il faudra toute la ténacité de Mortka, déjà fragilisé par son divorce récent et épuisé par les fiestas de ses colocs étudiants, pour mener à bien une enquête où les fausses pistes abondent. Sans compter le harcèlement de sa hiérarchie qui lui colle une profileuse dans les pattes, et le comportement suspect de son adjoint porté sur la boisson. - Nombre de page(s) : 410 - Poids : 496g - Langue : POLONAIS - Genre : Policier / Thriller grand format AGULLO NOIR.
