An excellent book that fulfills a real and substantive need in the areas of marine biology, vertebrate biology, and conservation biology. Pamela Plotkin has assembled the top experts and created a book that contains a remarkable series of chapters. Informative and engaging, it will be of value to both the general and specialist reader and is certainly a 'must read' for anyone interested in marine turtles. - James R. Spotila, author of Sea Turtles: A Complete Guide to Their Biology, Behavior, and Conservation An excellent overview of these two species, this long-awaited volume provides a wealth of information. - Karen A. Bjorndal, University of Florida

Extraordinary contribution to sea turtle literature. The value of this book lies in the fact that ' much of what we know about ridleys is summarized in the chapters herein ,' as stated by the editor, and I echo her hopes that this book will stimulate some much needed research on ridleys.
