The most thorough treatment of lizards in the United States and Canada, Handbook of Lizards has rightly become a landmark among herpetologists and lizard specialists. Hobart Smith spent years compiling and organising information on 136 species of lizards for his classic study. With scores of illustrations, photographs, labelled drawings, range maps, and illustrated keys, with species dealt with under range, type, locality, size, colour, scalation, recognition characters, habitats and habits, Handbook of Lizards serves as a convenient reference guide to the study of North American lizards. Darrel Frost, a prominent lizard specialist, provides a foreword that underscores the work's relevance for herpetology today.
