Recenzje

"..This book will have broad appeal both as an essential resource for amateur and professional herpetologists as well as an informative guide for anyone interested in the background and biology of exotic amphibians and reptiles. Cumulatively, the species accounts offer up-to-date coverage that will be useful to land managers, state and federal agencies, conservation groups, and research ecologists interested in seeking further data on the ecological effects of exotic species on local habitats." --The Quarterly Review of Biology
