"This fine book helps us to appreciate amphibians more fully and
provides vital scientific information that may help us to protect
them. . . . Although amphibians are but one piece of the
biodiversity crisis, this book may become a model for those who
champion the preservation of threatened species of all
kinds."---Andrew R. Blaustein, Trends in Ecology and Evolution
"Conveys the authors' enthusiasm for studying the natural history
of a fascinating group of animals. The illustrations are superb
[and the] line drawings are a delight. . . . A major
contribution."---Kentwood D. Wells, The Quarterly Review of
Biology
"'[P]rofessional zoologists and serious amateurs. . . will find it
a really useful, and enjoyable, work of reference.""---Nicholas
Gould, International Zoo News
"This book ... seems likely to replace Duellman and Trueb's Biology
of Amphibians as the standard text for students and
researchers."---Chris Mattison, New Scientist
