"Turtles of the World is a superbly illustrated guide to the families that contain the 350 known species that are alive today. . . . These ecologically important, egg-laying creatures are obsessively interesting: and of course endangered due to habitat loss, ocean plastic, tourism and global warming. Find out everything there is to know about turtles in this wonderful guide." * Bay Magazine * "Authoritative, visually compelling, and broadly accessible, this guide will please a broad swath of readers interested in turtles."---Robert Eagan, Library Journal "This colorful and compact book by two of North America's most eminent turtle biologists is a treat for anyone's personal library."---Jacqueline D. Litzgus, Herpetological Review "I cannot heap too much praise on this book. It brings turtles to us so vividly and in such a compelling manner."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds "How best to effectively convey appreciation and awareness of a diverse global-wide segment of the biota, both ancient and imperiled by humans? Lovich and Gibbons hit the mark with Turtles of the World: A Guide to Every Family."---Walter E. Meshaka, CHOICE "I can thoroughly recommend this beautifully produced and interesting book to start your journey into turtle biology."---Roger Downie, Glasgow Naturalist
