"The book is filled with glorious illustrations of frogs big and small, colourful and cryptic, temperate and tropical."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds
A richly illustrated guide to the world’s frogs that includes species from every family
With more than 7,600 known species, frogs exhibit an extraordinary range of forms and behaviors, from those that produce toxins so deadly that they could kill a human many times over to those that can survive being frozen in ice. Frogs of the World is an essential guide to this astonishingly diverse group of animals. An in-depth introduction covers everything from the origins and evolution of frogs to their life cycles and defense strategies. Beautiful illustrations accompany profiles of species from each family, shedding invaluable light on the enormous range of appearance, habitats, and behavior of these marvelous creatures.

- Discusses the conservation of the world’s frogs
- An invaluable resource for herpetologists, naturalists, and anyone interested in amphibians
