Palermo: L'Epos Societa Editrice, 1999. Paperback. New. The lizard fauna of Italy is dominated by lacertids and it is impossible to overlook these agile, beautifully patterned and coulored creatures. Due to their taxonomic and ecological diversity, lacertid lizards also represent an important part within the network of ecosystems, thus being a major constituent of Mediterranean biodiversity. However, our knowledge on the biology, ecology and ethology of lacertids is still imcomplete, and even the taxonomy and phylogeny of various groups are not yet resolved. It is therefore meritorious that the current knowledge on Italy's lacertid lizards has been summarized in this book -- Wolfgang Boehme

Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2008. Clothbound with a dust-jacket. The mystery of inheritance has captivated thinkers since antiquity, and the unlocking of this mystery―the development of classical genetics―is one of humanity's greatest achievements. This great scientific and human drama is the story told fully and for the first time in this book. Acclaimed science writer James Schwartz presents the history of genetics through the eyes of a dozen or so central players, beginning with Charles Darwin and ending with Nobel laureate Hermann J. Muller. In tracing the emerging idea of the gene, Schwartz deconstructs many often-told stories that were meant to reflect glory on the participants and finds that the "official" version of discovery often hides a far more complex and illuminating narrative. The discovery of the structure of DNA and the more recent advances in genome science represent the culmination of one hundred years of concentrated inquiry into the nature of the gene. Schwartz's… Read More

Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1988. Paperback.

320 pages | 16 color plates, 60 halftones, 19 maps | 6 x 9 | © 2000Marty Crump has searched for salamanders along the Amazon River; she has surveyed amphibians and reptiles in hostile Huaorani Indian territory; she has been stung by a conga ant and had run-ins with an electric eel, a boa constrictor, and a bushmaster viper. In the course of her travels she has dined, not always eagerly, on wild rat, parrot, guinea pig, and chicken foot soup. And for those among us who prefer our experiences to be vicarious and far away from biting insects, venomous snakes, and inhospitable surroundings, she has written In Search of the Golden Frog.The book is a detailed and fascinating chronicle of Crump's adventures as a field biologist—and as a wife and mother—in South and Central America. Following Crump on her research trips through Costa Rica, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, we learn of amazingly diverse landscapes, equally diverse national traditions and customs, and the natural history of her… Read More
