AVAILABLE NOW! Robert Hansen and Jackson Shedd are excited to announce the publication of a brand new, comprehensive field guide to California amphibians and reptiles. We’ve been so impressed with the advance copies and are excited to share this bountiful book, California Amphibians and Reptiles. It is the result of nearly 3 years of work and involved the collaboration of almost 300 people, all of whom are listed in the acknowledgments. Their field guide includes detailed accounts for 209 species including established exotics, range maps that reflect both current and historical distributions, 950 color photos that depict within-species and ontogenetic variation, and original color illustrations of all amphibian larvae. The authors' attention to detail and passion are reflected in every page. It will certainly be a required book for all interested in regional herpetology.
Order directly from the publisher or from your local independent bookseller (request it if it’s not there yet!) Start 2025 right with this book, both beautiful and indispensable.
