In an easy-to-read conversational tone, David Badger provides a general overview of lizards and then digs deeper, exploring the specific characteristics and behaviors of 29 species of chameleons, geckos, skinks, anoles, iguanas, monitors, and other lizards. He discusses physical characteristics and behaviors of lizards, the natural history of selected species, the curious relationship between lizards and humans, and the current threats to lizard populations and their habitats. Featuring 102 full-color photographs by the late renowned nature photographer John Netherton, "Lizards" is a fascinating look at a fascinating creature.

ReviewsCiTR-FM, CFRO-FM, and CJSF-FM, June 29, 2006"The whole range of lizard culture is represented here in terrific text and even better photographs. There's also a section on lizard's eyes that's tell-a-friend-worthy and indicative about just how fresh and inventive this book is ... This is a great book!"
