Reptile Books

Israel offers abundant wild life and a variety of habitats, packed into one of the smallest countries in the world. This book presents useful information on the identification and general biology of all 92 land-reptile and amphibian species occurring in Israel.

The book details each species with an updated textual description, colorful images, and distribution maps. Species inhabiting sandy habitats are addressed in a special chapter detailing their tracks and how to follow them, with the aid of text and photographs.

In addition to its species coverage, this book also covers Israels unique conservation issues, and surveys its diverse phytogeographical habitats, with the aid of illustrations, photographs, and textual information.

Robert W. Henderson is Curator of Herpetology Emeritus at the Milwaukee Public Museum (USA). His studies of West Indian treeboas (Corallus) are ongoing. Robert Powell is Professor of Biology at Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri (USA). His research seeks to understand the responses of West Indian herpetofaunas to human-mediated environmental alterations.

In the Eastern Caribbean, the more than 40 islands of the St. Vincent Bank and the Grenada Bank (Grenada and the Grenadine Islands) harbor at least 32 species of frogs and reptiles. Like many West Indian islands, the combined herpetofaunas of the two island banks comprise a mixture of native (including island and bank endemics) and introduced species. They include species that are virtually ubiquitous to those that have precariously limited distributions and are critically endangered, a condition largely attributable to habitat destruction and the impact of introduced species. This book provides a compilation of our current knowledge of the frogs and reptiles of the two island banks and raises concerns for their futures.
