Paperback. This groundbreaking new guide is an authoritative field reference for these two groups of animals.The taxonomy and systematics of European reptiles and amphibians have changed a lot in recent years, yet there is no modern, up-to-date field guide available that comprehensively covers all the species. The last illustrated field guide to European reptiles and amphibians was first published 38 years ago, and remains outdated despite occasional reprints and new editions. This major new field guide addresses this deficiency. A total of 219 species are covered in detail, with a focus on identification and geographical variation; species texts also cover distribution, habitat and behaviour. Superb colour illustrations by talented artist Ilian Velikov depict every species and all major variations, and colour photographs are also included for most species.The book includes over 370 colour artworks and 200 colour photographs, 155 accurate and up-to-date distribution maps, and easy-to-use keys and tables to help with swift species identification. This is a definitive and up-to-date field guide to all the reptiles and amphibians of Europe, and the first new illustrated book on the subject for almost 40 years. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
