Recenzijas

"Stunning . . . full colour images, literally on every page. It is difficult to overstate the value of these images, especially when dealing with taxa among the most colourful and diverse in the world. Even frogs that are close to extinction are featured on the pages of this book."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds "I envision books like this one can sound the alarm and propel everyone to help our amphibian partners on all levels that they deserve."---Howard O. Clark, Jr., Sonoran Herpetologist
