Admirably illustrated this book completes David Attenboroughs greatexploration of the worlds main animal groups. He shows us the lives ofamphibians and reptiles in all the fascinating detail we have come to expectfrom him. A treasure trove for everyonefrom the child seeing flying dragonsor maneating crocodiles for the first time to the professional zoologistrealizing that there is still much to learn.Philip Rainbow Natural HistoryMuseum London Quite delightful to read. There are many popular books onamphibians and reptiles but most are aimed more at a younger audience or areintended as field guides while others are primarily picture books with littleor very poor text. Life in Cold Blood is a popular wellillustrated bookthat introduces some scientific rigor. The scholarship is excellent. Theillustrations are outstanding and are both informative and beautiful.KurtSchwenk University of Connecticut «
