Review:
"Read, and own, this fine book and learn how to find and help protect your herp friends."--The Independent"A long awaited, much-needed guide to the herpetofauna of a state at the crossroads of north and south."--CHOICE"Will do much towards teaching New Yorkers and their neighbors about their herpetofauna and will hopefully open their eyes to the many threats these animals face in modern times. The suggestions provided here to protect and conserve the habitats of these animals will go a long way to ensure that New York will not lose these species to statewide extinction." --Joseph C. Mitchell, University of Richmond"The authors of this solid book combine a huge amount of experience and together probably have more expertise than those of any other state guide. I particularly enjoyed the sections on the history of herpetology studies in New York State and the nods to the urban herpetofauna of New York City. The book is explicitly oriented toward people who want to identify specimens they've encountered and learn more about the animals in their area." --Russell Burke, Hofstra University "Read, and own, this fine book and learn how to find and help protect your herp friends."--The Independent "A long awaited, much-needed guide to the herpetofauna of a state at the crossroads of north and south."--CHOICE "Will do much towards teaching New Yorkers and their neighbors about their herpetofauna and will hopefully open their eyes to the many threats these animals face in modern times.
