Pleistocene Amphibians and Reptiles in North America cover

This book documents the temporal and geographic distribution of amphibians and reptiles during the Pleistocene of North America. The identification of fossils, the range of adjustments and extinction patterns for these species are treated. The focus of the book is on the unique relationship of the North American herpetofauna to the events of the Pleistocene.

'...it is most important to have a work covering the study of ice-age amphibians and reptiles by the doyen of Pleistocene herpetologists,...this pioneering book covers all important aspects of Pleistocene North American herpetology...such a study has been needed for many years. It is written clearly and will be of great value to North American Pleistocene paleontologists, zooarchaeologists and paleoecologists, as well as modern herpetologists. It would serve well as a university text.' * C.R.Harington, Quarternary Science Reviews: Vol.17. *
