HerpDigest is pleased to announce the publication of the most definitive field guide available for the Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America.
The “Fourth Edition of the Peterson Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America” by Bob Powell, Roger Conant, & Joseph T. Collins _____________________________________________________________ The fourth edition is completely updated, including 122 newly recognized or recently established non-native species of reptiles and amphibians. The new edition of this definitive guide reflects 25 years’ worth of changes in our knowledge of reptiles and amphibians. It includes descriptions of 122 newly recognized or recently established non-native species, updated maps, and new figures and photos. Color illustrations and drawings show key details for accurate identification. More than 100 color photographs and 322 color distribution maps accompany the species descriptions. Clear and concise species accounts provide key characteristics, similar species, habitats, and ranges, as well as subspecies, voice descriptions, and conservation status. This edition will be a crucial resource for professional and amateur herpetologists, naturalists, outdoor enthusiasts, and students. Guaranteed to start and stop some ongoing taxonomic “discussions” that have been going on the past ? years. Both sides which HerpDigest would gladly publish if statements are supplied with proper citations. And of course the text is written in a civil tone. I’m not kidding about being civil. Sponsored by the National Audubon Society, the National Wildlife Federation, and the Roger Tory Peterson Institute. DR. ROBERT POWELL is professor of biology at Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri. The late ROGER CONANT was director and curator of reptiles at the Philadelphia Zoo. The late JOSEPH T.
