"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.
