Table of ContentsReviewsThe author, Dr. Frederic Frye, is widely considered to be one of the grandfathers of herpetological medicine. This Self-Assessment Color Review of reptiles and amphibians will appeal to a wide audience from experienced veterinarians and herpetologists, to veterinary residents and interns during their formal training, to veterinary students and amateur herpetologists. Even experienced readers will be challenged to think broadly about disease processes and conditions, instead of jumping to a quick conclusion based on pattern recognition . - Douglas Whiteside, DVM, DVSc, DACZM, DECZM (ZHM), Senior Staff Veterinarian, Calgary Zoo, Alberta, Canadian Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, July 2017 This is an excellent standalone book that reinforces key concepts and provides a framework for practitioners to expand upon their prior knowledge...It is a valuable tool for stimulating readers to think through cases systematically in a real-world manner. Explanations are readily available to confirm a diagnosis or explain the rationale for an alternative. In this way, learning is much more active and meaningful than if these disease presentations were simply explained in standard textbook format. - Julia K Whittington, DVM(University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine), Doody's Book Review Service """The author, Dr. Frederic Frye, is widely considered to be one of the grandfathers of herpetological medicine.
