"Discover the biology, natural history, and diversity of geckos--the acrobatic little
lizards made famous by a car insurance ad campaign. Lizard biologist and gecko expert
Aaron Bauer answers deceptively simple questions with surprising and little-known
facts. Readers can explore color photographs that reveal the natural wonder and beauty
of the gecko form and are further informed by images of how geckos live in their natural
habitats. Although written for nonexperts, Geckos also provides a carefully selected
bibliography and a new list of all known species that will be of interest to herpetologists.
Anyone who owns a gecko, has seen them in the wild, or has wondered about them will
appreciate this gem of a book."--Publisher's website
