Kurzbeschreibung
This is the first complete listing and guide to all the known reptiles of the five East African countries
This book breaks new ground: it has been written by four authors and two consultants, all expert East African herpetologists, incorporating virtually all known information on the East African reptile fauna.
Nearly 500 high quality colour photographs illustrate most of the species enabling their rapid identification. Many of the species have never been illustrated in colour before. There is an individual account for each species, describing its appearance, habits and habitat, accompanied by a map, showing its known distribution within East Africa, and notes indicating its Africa-wide distribution as well. In addition, the descriptions of dangerous snakes include a section on their venom. A comprehensive appendix discusses aspects of snakebite within East Africa and the do's and don'ts of first aid. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Perfect blend of science and user-friendliness
5. Januar 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I was hoping to be able to buy this book before my trip to Kenya in August 01. Unfortunately, it wasn't yet published at that time. I thought I could pick up a decent field guide in Nairobi, but I was wrong. The best I could find there was a short paperback with fuzzy photos, anecdotes, and very incomplete list of species. Nonetheless, I had a great trip and identified some nice herps.
In December I saw that this Field Guide was out, so I bought it and found it to be outstanding. A nice fat book jam packed with beautiful and useful photos, great descriptions, habitat and range info, and natural history. There is so much precise and credible information in this book it is amazing. So much work must have gone into producing this thing! The species coverage is vast. For example, there is complete info on over thirty species of chameleon. The identification keys are also practical and simple. The writing is straightfoward -- minimal superscientist jargon -- but also precise and complete and consistent. Good sections on how to find herps, how to use the book, dealing with snakebite, etc.
I am very glad I bought this book. The authors have my admiration for this achievement.

Excellent Reptile Resource and Field Guide
17. Februar 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The long-awaited field guide to the diverse reptile populations of East Africa. This book was everything I expected it to be and more. Comprehensive listings, excellent photography and detailed information on habitat/distribution, natural history, conservation status etc. I can't say enough good things about this book, the list of authors should speak for themselves! ;-)
No serious herper's library is complete without this book...

More an Encyclopedia than a Field Guide
17. Juni 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is amazingly detailed, giving in-depth information on ALL species of reptile known to occur in the five countries covered.
The photographs are of excellent quality (though where none was available, drawings would have been better than nothing) and the keys very user-friendly.
It is an absolute must for anyone interested in the herpetofauna of this region.
A word of warning though: despite the title this book is much too bulky and heavy to carry around on the field!
More likely, you will want to keep it at home (or in your car?) as a reference.
