World of Reptiles is a visual celebration of the diversity of the
planet's scaly inhabitants. It is a unique book in that it distils the
10,800 species of reptiles into 240 full-page images, with these
photographs depicting representatives from 68 of the Earth's 86
families. It covers everything from the very common to the extremely
rare, from the huge Saltwater Crocodile to the miniscule Pygmy
Chameleon, and from the venomous King Cobra to the highly endangered
Tuatara. The completeness of the collection, and the fact that it
contains many rare species, lends it strong appeal to keen reptile
enthusiasts, while the remarkable nature of the images will be
appreciated by anyone who has an interest in the subject - from beginner
to expert - by showcasing the incredible diversity of the world's
reptiles.
