"A comprehensive guide to all 31 families of frogs. Spectacular full-color photographs... This book can be enjoyed by readers of all ages." -- Science News

Frogs and toads are one of nature's great animal success stories. They are also the "canary in the mine" for climate change. Renowned herpetologist Ellin Beltz paints a compelling picture of these small survivors.

Some of the features of Frogs are:

Unprecedented selection of 125 color photographs of frogs and toads from around the world
Detailed examinations of all 31 frog and toad families, describing biology, behavior, physical characteristics, habitat, voice, feeding and reproduction
Review of the environmental threats that are rapidly reducing frog numbers around the world and the ongoing conservation efforts to stem potential losses
Historical overview of frogs in myth and culture and their place in art and literature
Sidebars highlighting unusual and interesting facts.

Frogs is a comprehensive and fascinating reference that is extremely useful for herpetologists and naturalists and informative for general readers.

Industry Reviews

The spectacular feature of this book is its over 160 vivid colour frog portraits and two coloured diagrams of skeletal and internal structures of a typical frog from a variety of sources which effectively depict the range of frog diversity. But it is not just another pretty picture book. The text, though brief, is both instructive and entertaining on a wide range of frog topics. It is a near perfect introduction to a world overview of these lively and attractive animals for anyone young or old.--Francis R. Coook, Research Emeritus, Canadian Museum of Nature "The Canadian Field Naturalist" (1/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)
