| 520 | |a "Gordon Grigg's authoritative and accessible text and David Kirshner's stunning interpretive artwork and color photographs combine expertly in this contemporary celebration of crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharials. This book showcases the skills and capabilities that allow crocodylians to live how and where they do. It covers the biology and ecology of the extant species, conservation issues, crocodylian-human interaction, and the evolutionary history of the group, and includes a vast amount of new information; 25 percent of 1,100 cited publications have appeared since 2007. Richly ilustrated with more than five hundred color photographs and black-and-white illustrations, this book will benchmark reference work for crocodylian biologists, herpetologists, and vertebrate biologists for years to come"--Publisher's description | ||
