This groundbreaking new guide is an authoritative field reference for these two groups of animals. The taxonomy and systematics of European reptiles and amphibians have changed a lot in recent years, yet there is no modern, up-to-date field guide available that comprehensively covers all the species. The last illustrated field guide to European reptiles and amphibians was first published 38 years ago, and remains outdated despite occasional reprints and new editions. This major new field guide addresses this deficiency. A total of 219 species are covered in detail, with a focus on identification and geographical variation; species texts also cover distribution, habitat and behaviour. Superb colour illustrations by talented artist Ilian Velikov depict every species and all major variations, and colour photographs are also included for most species. The book includes over 370 colour artworks and 200 colour photographs, 155 accurate and up-to-date distribution maps, and easy-to-use keys and tables to help with swift species identification.

"This book provides concise, reliable, and up-to-date information on all 118 species currently recognized from Egypt, with detailed review of their taxonomy, identification, natural history, ecology, and conservation. This volume is based on the author's twenty-year experience with the reptile and amphibian fauna of Egypt and the Middle East, which includes extensive fieldwork and research. In total, the current work adds almost 20 percent to the previously reported fauna from Egypt, and presents many taxonomic innovations that are reported and elaborated here for the first time." "Each species entry contains concise information, including synonymy, tanxonomic notes, world and Egypt distributions, distinguishing features, habitat, ecology and conservation status. Over 130 high-quality color photographs and line drawings illustrate all the species dealt with. With easy-to-use keys, accurate distribution maps, diagnostic illustrations, a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is a valuable tool in the identification, study, and conservation of the animals."--BOOK JACKET.
