"The volume covers a remarkable range of topics at very different levels! the chapters are well written and well illustrated! this is an excellent
addition to our knowledge of evolutionary, developmental, and functional aspects of turtle morphology! It seems likely that chapters in this volume
will become standard references for current and future generations of turtle biologists." --Peter A. Meylan, Collegium of Natural Sciences, Eckerd
College, St. Petersburg, Florida, in Phyllomedusa,Volume 7, September 2008 "! Notable strengths'! A laudable layout change after 2 previous
turtle-content books by CRC Press (Lutz et a!. 2003) is that The Biology of Turtles has all chapters stand independent with a reference list, yet
included the helpful index of subjects and authors cross-referenced in the text, regardless of chapter. The improvement in accessibility creates a
more user-friendly reference for the target audience. The images and figures are frequent, clear, and well-juxtaposed with the text!." --Turtle and
Tortoise Newsletter, Issue 13
