As all good herpetologists – be they amateur or professional – likely know, it’s been roughly twenty years since the third edition of A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians: Eastern and Central North America was published. And as might be assumed, quite a lot has changed in the field since that time. For one thing, 122 newly recognized or recently established non-native species of its title subjects have been added to the geographic region it covers.
Which is why is it’s a very good thing indeed that on 12 April the Peterson Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America, Fourth Edition by Robert Powell, Roger Conant, and Joseph Collins will be brought out by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
