The preeminent naturalists Albert Hazen Wright and Anna Allen
Wright spent years assembling the wealth of material on frogs and
toads appearing in this widely used handbook, the third edition of
which was originally published in 1949. With abundant
black-and-white photographs, colorful descriptions, journal notes
from the field, and excerpts from the literature, their
personalized natural history emphasizes amphibians observed in the
wild. In a foreword to the 1995 paperback edition, Roy McDiarmid, a
foremost specialist on frogs and toads, brings the book into
historical perspective and supplies information to bring it up to
date. Accounts of more than 100 species and subspecies cover such
topics as common and scientific names, range, habitat, size, and
general appearance, as well as color, structure, voice, and
breeding. Separate keys are given for secondary sexual
characteristics, eggs, tadpoles, families, and species. Generous
quotations from the Wrights' field journals give the reader a sense
of the problems and satisfactions of their work.
