"""The amount of information in this book is almost overwhelming. Its thoroughness and broad scope should make it a desirable book for a wide audience.""--Robert W. Henderson, Milwaukee Public Museum ""This profusely illustrated compendium is a model for all state and regional guides. In addition to detailed species accounts, it provides field-based insights into how animals interact with natural and anthropogenic habitats, historical perspectives of Wisconsin landscapes, insights into the practice of herpetology, and guidelines for sound management practices. This is a must for professional herpetologists and conservationists and for anyone with an interest in the natural world.""--Robert Powell, coauthor of the Peterson Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America"
