Amphibians & Reptiles

Ages 9 to 11 years. This is a comprehensive, lively, and extensively illustrated introduction to the fascinating world of amphibians of reptiles written by award-winning author Marty Crump, a prominent herpetologist and long-established advocate of amphibian and reptile conservation. Well organised, clearly written, richly illustrated with black-and-white and colour photographs and diagrams, and infused with substance, this book will inform the reader with knowledge about the basic biology, ecology, and natural history of amphibians and reptiles; about their declining populations throughout the world; about the causes of these declines; and about ways that human beings can help to save these important parts of Earths biodiversity. The book concludes with a chapter on what kids can do, and should not do, to help protect and preserve amphibians and reptiles.
