The Lives of Frogs: A Natural History

"Stunning . . . full colour images, literally on every page. It is difficult to overstate the value of these images, especially when dealing with taxa among the most colourful and diverse in the world. Even frogs that are close to extinction are featured on the pages of this book."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds "I envision books like this one can sound the alarm and propel everyone to help our amphibian partners on all levels that they deserve."---Howard O. Clark, Jr., Sonoran Herpetologist "Delivers an in-depth and clearly articulated treatment of the biology and ecological significance of frogs, showing their extraordinary diversity and adaptability."---Lydia Allison Fucsko, The Quarterly Review of Biology "The Lives of Frogs clearly conveys the obvious passion that the authors have for frogs, and it is infectious. It is jampacked with a mind-boggling number of startling facts. . . . This is a succinct, beautifully illustrated and well researched book and a must have for all batrachophiles."---Benjamin Tapley, Herpetological Bulletin "For professional herpetologists, the volume provides an excellent synthesis suitable for teaching and outreach. For stu­dents, it offers an ideal introduction to amphibian biology. For conservation practitioners, it represents an effective tool for communicating the urgency of amphibian conservation to wider audiences. And for naturalists, it is simply a beauti­ful celebration of one of Earth’s most remarkable groups of vertebrates. . . . Labisko and Griffiths have produced one of the most engaging general accounts of amphibian natural history currently available."---Steven J.R. Allain, Reptiles & Amphibians
