Contributions to the History of Herpetology, Volume 2
(This book consists of three sections, each world-wide in ...)
This book consists of three sections, each world-wide in coverage. The first and longest section, by Kraig Adler, is a series of completely new biographies of the leading contributors to herpetology beginning with the author of the first book on the subject. Nicoló Leoniceno (1428-1524). The acounts have a portrait, signature, and references for further interest. These feature 285 herpetologists and also include information about their colleagues and students and many other persons. The comprehensive index encompasses voluume 1 and 2 and covers nearly 1,400 individuals. The second section, by John S. Applegarth, is an index of 3,603 authors in taxonomic herpetology. This alphabetical list includes the full names, dates, countries of residence, and orders of taxa for everyone who has proposed a new taxon (genus or below, within the living families) or has had a taxon named in their honor. This is a unique resource for zoologists, historians, and librarians. In less than two decades (since the 1989 edition), the number of persons covered has increased by nearly 50 percent. The third section, by Ronald Altig, is a listing of herpetologists giving the names of their doctoral university, their major professor, and the date of their degree. This extensive revision is three times longer than the 1989 ediition. The informatioon is arranged in such a manner that the academic liineages can be followed from generation to generation, both forward and backward in time. 3,810 names are includeed and fully indexed.

Biology of the Reptilia, Volume 22: Comprehensive Literature of the Reptilia
(THIS CELEBRATED SERIES, NOW EXTENDING TO 22 VOLUMES, HAS ...)
THIS CELEBRATED SERIES, NOW EXTENDING TO 22 VOLUMES, HAS BEEN WIDELY acclaimed as the definitive resource on reptilian biology. From the first volume in1969, the distinguished contributors to this series have included an international group of about l70 experts in their respective fields. Each volume consists of multiple chapters summarizing the state of our knowledge, laying groundwork for future research, and providing an in-depth guide to the relevant literature. All volumes are fully illustrated with figures, graphs, and extensive tables of information. Each text volume has both subject/species and author indices. Volume 22 comprises the comprehensive bibliography and cross referenced index to the entire 21 volume series, which includes more than 22,000 references. SSAR has been proud to assume responsibility for this classic series and to offer clothbound volumes at affordable prices. This volume, the final one in the Biology of the Reptilia series, covers a vast literature on turtles, crocodilians, lizard, snakes, and tuatara. It includes their behavior, development, ecology, morphology, neurology, and physiology, as well as their evolution and systematics. It is a synthesis of the 22,255 literature references included in 136 chapters by 169 authors over a 40-year period, with links to the chapters in which the reference appeared and an extensive cross-referenced subject index. At 1,400 pages, it represents the most extensive compilation and index to the literature of the Reptilia ever undertaken and probably the most comprehensive single work on the topic that will ever again be made available in printed form. Every effort has been made to correct references that were originally in error and to provide citations for those that were listed as in preparation in manuscript, or in press. This huge volume will be an essential reference to biologists, herpetologists, conservationists, zoo curators, reference librarians, government personnel, and veterinarians, among others.
