Review

"Duellman and Trueb truly review the biology of amphibians, covering most conceivable topics from cytogenetics and development to biogeography and phylogeny... There is no recent textbook on amphibian biology that is worthy of comparison." -- Science

"An impressive review of current knowledge concerning all aspects of amphibian biology. The authors have organized a tremendous number of facts, observations, and theories around the complementary themes of structure and evolution... A major undertaking." -- Bioscience

"The text is clear and concise and richly illustrated... This book goes some way towards being all one could wish for and is likely to be an important source of reference." -- Nature

A must have
If you're interested in amphibians and wish to undertand everything about them then this book is for you. If you are only interested in photos, and colourful guides, then this book is not for you. It has inside everything I wanted to read about amphibians, great, best buy for a long time!
