About this title

Synopsis

Describes the range, habitat, characteristics, and behavior of snakes, salamanders, newts, frogs, toads, turtles, tortoises, lizards, crocodiles, and alligators

Reviews

This attractive introduction to herpetology is the fourth volume in Facts on File's Animal Series. Major reptilian and amphibian groups are described in taxonomic order with accompanying world geographical distribution maps and excellent color photographs. Evolutionary theory is nicely interwoven throughout the work, along with significant anatomical, physiological, behavioral, and reproductive details. This sets the book apart from others of similar title that mainly catalogue the variety of reptile and amphibian species. Eighteen contributors and excellent editing have produced an authoritative text thatwith technical terminology kept to a minimumwill be useful to a wide range of readers from YA through college. Highly recommended. Frank Reiser, Biology Dept., Nassau Community Coll., Garden City, N.Y.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
