Review :
"Amateur naturalists will be armed with all the tools they need to identify an array of reptiles and amphibians in Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands, from Great Crested Newts to Hawksbill Turtles. Species photos are accompanied by detailed descriptions, and the handy ID charts will be perfect for quick references when out in the field."-- "BBC Wildlife" "An absolute 'must have' for all nature lovers whatever they may already know about our reptiles and amphibians."---Chris Davis, RAUK "[T]his guide is a worthy addition to any naturalist's library."---Rachel Thompson, Surrey Nature "Absolutely fascinating. . . . A terrific book."---Lee and J.J. MacFadden, Bristol Herald Courier "In addition to useful quick identification charts, each species receives a full treatment in an account awash with excellent photographs. It is a stunning book, well thought out and eminently practical."---Mike Toms, BTO News "This slim but extremely useful and profusely illustrated new book, written by life-long herpetological enthusiast Howard Inns, helps to spotlight the creatures that rarely make headlines and can be difficult to observe really well."---Ron Toft, TheTravelEditor.com "Whether trekking with the aim of field-study, or whether simply interested in reptiles and amphibians, I would recommend Britain's Reptiles and Amphibians to anyone with interests in herpetology and native wildlife."---Ian Millichip, Lacerta
