Description:

Describing more than 120 species of salamanders occurring in the eastern United States, the authors provide us with the most comprehensive and authoritative - yet accessible and fun-to-read - guide to these often secretive, always fascinating wonders of nature.

Enumerates the distinguishing characteristics of salamanders, including how they are different from other amphibians and from reptiles. Also disusses distribution, habitat, behaviour and activity, reproduction, food and feeding, predators and defense, conservation, and taxonomy. Accompanying each account are photographs illustrating typical adults and variations and distribution maps for the eastern U.S. and the United States as a whole.

Given that a high percentage of the world's species of salamanders live in the Southeast and Northeast and the scientific and popular concern for the worldwide decline in amphibian populations in general, this book will appeal to people of all ages and levels of knowledge interested in natural history and conservation.

Features:

* conservation-oriented approach

* clear species descriptions and photographs

* sections on biology, worldwide diversity, identification, taxonomy, habitats, and conservation
