This is the most comprehensive and trusted guide to reptiles and
amphibians of western North America. The new edition retains the

and placed within their species accounts. Family, genus, species, and
subspecies names have been updated to the currently accepted usage.
Illustrations of eggs and larvae, which can aid in identifying
salamanders and frogs, are a particularly helpful feature.
The area covered includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Alberta,
British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, the western
corner of Nunavut, Yukon, and Baja California.
