The Amphibians and Reptiles of Michigan: A Quaternary and Recent Faunal Adventure (Great Lakes Books Series)
This collection should be heartily welcomed by herpetologists, vertebrate paleontologists, zoologists, ecologists, and general biologists. Finally, I m certain the book will be embraced by anyone who loves salamanders, frogs, turtles, and snakes. I have tried to write with as little scientific jargon as possible. But, when jargon has slithered into my writing, please forgive me for it. I have included some whimsical accounts of my experiences in the field and laboratory with both fossil and modern amphibians and reptiles, as well as a wee bit of levity now and then. --J. Alan Holman, from the introduction
