This book is fabulous - for BOTH the content, and the absolutely amazing photos. I would buy it just for the photos alone! I had no idea of the beautiful diversity in the amphibian world. Of interest to anyone remotely interested in the world around them and taking care of it.

Lost Frogs chronicles the search by scientific teams in many different countries for not only frogs in remote areas prone to violent conflict (Columbia), where there has simply been to access to enable previous scientists to study, but also places where frogs and other amphibians have just vanished rapidly and without any clues. The information they uncover reveals a 6th mass extinction going on beneath our noses. Many people never see the amphibians that are bearing the brunt of this wave of extinction, but the ramifications are felt worldwide.

Highly recommend.
