With contributions by 59 authors, this book is an invaluable survey of the current state of knowledge on Antillean herpetology, with a strong emphasis on field-oriented projects. The work includes a history of West Indian herpetology, an updated checklist of the herpetofauna (including full literature citations for the original descriptions of all 622 species), and a section of colour photographs illustrating representatives of all genera of native West Indian amphibians and reptiles. All research chapters are abstracted in English, Spanish, and French.
