Kurzbeschreibung
Turtles, almost alone among reptiles, have earned both human interest and affection. Our fascination with turtles, though, has not helped them much. Sought after for food, as pets, and for tortoiseshell, their habitats under attack on land and sea, turtle populations are in decline around the world. Understanding turtles is not only interesting, but also important.<P>Turtles, tortoises, and terrapins have been on earth since the Triassic Period, approximately 200 million years ago. Their exact origins are uncertain, though - it is still unclear from which group of reptiles turtles sprang. Although the earliest fossils are clearly turtles, their anatomy has changed dramatically over time. In addition, turtle species vary greatly in such basic characteristics as anatomy and habitat preferences. Turtles, Tortoises and Terrapins surveys the myriad of turtle anatomy, habitat, and life cycles throughout the ages.<P>Human activities on the land and at sea pose the greatest threat that turtles have faced in the last 200 million years. The battle to save turtles goes on, and this book provides an important voice in turtle ecology. Turtles, Tortoises and Terrapins is the perfect resource for anyone interested in all facets of these amazing and diverse reptiles.<P>Contents include: What Turtles AreHow Turtles LiveWill Turtles Survive?Turtles of the WorldTurtle WatchingHow to Help Conserve Turtles

Best General Book on the Subject- Must Have
20. Januar 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I don't know how I have missed this book, but it is a wonderfully written book on the subject of turtle biology, with outstanding coverage of all groups of turtles, including sea turtles and the pleurodira. The subjects are very well selected to cover the range of turtle biology, and the collection of photographs is outstanding and very well edited for high quality. I'm just grateful that places like Amazon carry this book, because it is likely that you will not find it anywhere else. Most other books on the subject focus on pet care or classification (naming) of turtles, but this book takes a profoundly original view of their biology. The chapter on paleonology is the best general account of the state of this subject anywhere. A terrific value, and you will not be disappointed!!

Great book for Tortoise Owners Like Myself!
27. Dezember 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I recommend this book to anyone who has a turtle or tortoise - it is a handy dandy reference book with lots of insighful information. I have an African desert tortoise that was given to me. I knew nothing about its care - did not even udnerstand what it would eat - this book was helpful.
Easy to read, easy to undertsand. Filled with lots of good common sense stuff that makes it easier to understand your pet.

Perfect for the Turtle Lover
2. Januar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
It is so hard to find a good book on turtles at a book store, so when I saw this I jumped at the chance to get it for my dad (he loves turtles and knows quite a bit about them). He loved the book and thought the information and photos were top quality.
