Reptiles and Amphibians; How Animals Live [Dr. A.C. Echternacht]

(Focus on biology, conservation, and species. Written by a researcher.)

On the cover:

How Animals Live with over 1200 unique color illustrations

How Animals Live presents the latest developments in biology in 6 volumes.

Whereas in the past, people were content with using a reference work to distinguish one animal from another, today, people want to know how the animal lives, how it reproduces, where it can be found, and its relationship to other animals.

Similarly, topics such as the conservation of animal species and their natural environment provide insight into the background of current discussions and publications on ecology, nature conservation, and animal welfare.

How Animals Live

This six-volume reference work presents the latest insights and developments in biology, focusing on the question (also the title of this series) How Animals Live: how they reproduce, where they occur, their relationship to other animals, etc.

Similarly, topics such as the conservation of animal species and their natural environment perfectly align with the many current discussions and publications on ecology, nature conservation, and animal welfare.

Illustrations

The rich array of a total of over 1200 illustrations in four colors forms an equally impressive and essential part of this fascinating, excellently produced standard work.

Reptiles and Amphibians

Dr. A.C. Echternacht

Of the contemporary class of vertebrates, reptiles and amphibians are the least studied, which is understandable, as they are of little economic importance to humans. There are probably more myths and legends about this group than about any other group of vertebrates. However, interest in reptiles and amphibians is growing, and Dr. A.C. Echternacht has succeeded in providing a fascinating and clear overview of this interesting group of animals. Reptiles are among the oldest inhabitants of our planet, while amphibians are the first land-dwelling vertebrates. This volume provides excellent information on the ingenious adaptations of amphibians to their environment and the external characteristics, lifestyle, distribution, and reproduction of lizards and snakes.

The impressive color illustrations give an unforgettable impression of these animals.

About the book:

Hardcover. The condition is complete but vintage. An old book with a worn paper dust jacket and yellowing pages typical of old books, but it is complete, readable, and preserved by a collector.
