Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

. This book presents up-to-date, useful information on the identification, taxonomic status, conservation needs, biogeography, life history, general biology, and potential risk to humans, of all species of reptiles and amphibians currently occurring in Israel: both land and sea, both native and introduced. It is Intended both as a field guide and as a source of data on the current status and biology of Israeli reptiles and amphibians, many of which occur in neighboring countries for which no updated field guides are currently available. The book details each species with an updated textual description, colorful images, and both local and global distribution maps. Species inhabiting sandy habitats are addressed in a special chapter detailing their tracks and how to read them, with the aid of text and photographs. In addition to its species coverage, this book also covers Israel’s unique conservation issues, and surveys its diverse biogeographical habitats, and how they contribute to its rich herpetofauna.
