Introduction to Horned Lizards of North America

Rating:
Summary: A Beautiful, Complete Guide To Phrynosoma
Review: This book is one of the finest guides to nature I have ever seen. The distribution and life cycles of all the species of Horned Lizards in North America including Mexico (Australia, also) are simply, but amply explained along with oustanding photos. Origins, distribution maps, habbits, ecology, etc. are thoroughly discussed in an easy to understand language suitable for all ages and education backgrounds- from hobbiest to scientist.

A short history of American Indian relations to Phrynosoma is discussed along with photos of their art work depicting horned lizards.

The book format is a sturdy pocket sized field guide and makes an excellent example of how all field guides should be constructed- my hats off to Mr. Sherbrooke for this eloquent book!

On the back cover is praise for this edition from Coevolution which pretty much sums it up: "[This is] the horned lizard bible deluxe". I agree!
