Pretoria 2024, HC., Großformat,  vii, 651 Seiten, 737 Farbfotos, 414 Karten, mehrere Graphiken und Tabellen, viele Farbfotos. Its ten years now since the first edition has been published and a revised and updated Reptile Atlas is long overdue. A team of reptile experts has written this comprehensive but accessible account for each of the nearly 400 species included in the book, and includes information on the distribution, habitat, threats and conservation measures required for the conservation of each species. Each species is placed in one of the threat categories of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List system, an internationally endorsed scientific approach to assessing the risks of extinction to species. The broad range of information as well as the informative and beautiful illustrations presented here makes this a publication useful to everyone, including conservation planners and managers, researchers, professional and amateur herpetologists, legislators, environmental consultants and members of the public.
