Joseph T. Collins, director, Center for North American Herpetology, and coauthor, Peterson Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America This is a thorough, accurate guide to the snakes and lizards of the northern Midwest. The color photographs are excellent, even to showing the red mite infestation on the six-lined racerunner. The section on similar species eliminates confusion when trying to distinguish adults from any part of the range. This guide belongs in every college and high school biology classroom and will appeal to anyone with an interest in amphibians and reptiles. My compliments to Terry VanDeWalle for producing an excellent, compact, visual guide to the midwestern terrestrial reptiles. James L.
