GuiÂa para la identificacion de Lagartos y Culebras de Puerto Rico About [Books] GuiÂa para la identificacion de Lagartos y Culebras de Puerto Rico by CarlO_'s review
Intended for all graduate students or amateurs!!!
Due to the lack of handbooks and identification guides available covering the reptiles of Puerto Rico, Juan A. Rivero decides to put all the necessary info into this first recognition guide of snakes and lizards in the Island.
With plenty of full color photographs (mostly taken by Rivero) and a broad range of illustrations for every species covered, the author includes key descriptions for quick identification, habitat distribution and details about their behavior. All of this without sacrificing the convenient pocket book size that makes it excellent to carry on with you in every field trip.
Even when this edition does not surpass Rivero's "Los anfibios y reptiles de Puerto Rico / The amphibians and reptiles of Puerto Rico", considered by many the authoritative guide on Herpetology in Puerto Rico, Dr. Rivero grants the many requests for a reprint of his masterpiece not available since quite some time with the quick guide "Guia para la identificacion de lagartos y culebras de Puerto Rico".
Juan A. Rivero, Distinguished Professor at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus is one of the most recognized men of science from the Island of Enchantment. 2006 nominee for the His Royal Highness Prince of Asturias (Spain) Award for his scientific contribution to humanity, Rivero has discovered more than a hundred species of amphibians (more than 10 carry his name) in his illustrious career. |
