Handbook of the Reptiles of the World (HRW)

From the same publisher who brought you the world-famous Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) and Handbook of the Mammals of the World (HMW), Lynx Nature Books is publishing the Handbook of the Reptiles of the World (HRW) in seven volumes.

This is a landmark multi-volume reference that will cover every currently recognised reptile family and species worldwide.

With hundreds of original plates and thousands of photographs, the series offers an unparalleled synthesis of the biology, ecology, and conservation of reptiles across the globe.

Seven volumes are planned at the moment:
1. Turtles and Crocodiles
2. Geckos, Blind Lizards and Tuatara
3. Skinks
4. Lizards
5. Iguanas and Anguimorph Lizards
6. Snakes I: Colubrids
