Throughout, the book stresses conservation, documenting declines in individual species as well as losses of local and regional populations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eColor photographs are paired with detailed species accounts, which provide information about size, appearance, and other identifying characteristics of adults and young; taxonomy and nomenclature; habits; distribution and habitat; and reproduction and development. Typical specimens and various life stages are described, as well as significant variations in such attributes as color and pattern. Line drawings define each group's general features for easy field identification. Range maps show where each species occurs in Georgia county by county, as well as in the United States generally. State maps depict elevations, streams, annual precipitation, land use changes, physiographic provinces, and average temperatures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book includes a checklist, a chart of the evolutionary relationships among amphibians and reptiles, a list of the top ten most reported species by major group, and a table summarizing the diversity of amphibians and reptiles in the state's five physiographic provinces. \u003ci\u003eAmphibians and Reptiles of Georgia\u003c\/i\u003e is an authoritative reference for students, professional herpetologists, biologists, ecologists, conservationists, land managers, and amateur naturalists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeatures: Nearly 500 color photographs24 line drawings showing each group's defining featuresAlmost 200 range maps detailing county-by-county distributionDetailed species accounts written by 54 regional experts providing information on size, appearance, and other identifying characteristics of adults and young; taxonomy and nomenclature; habits; distribution and habitat; and reproduction and developmentIntroductory sections providing overviews of physiography, climate, and habitats of Georgia, the Georgia Herp Atlas Project, taxonomic issues, conservation, and herpetology as a science and a careerA selection of frog and alligator vocalizations at www.ugapress.org\/AmphibsAndReptiles\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn B.
