Lizards of the World [antikvár]

AcknowledgementsI feel very fortunate that over the years in which I have pursued not only information on lizards, but also the lizards themselves, I have come into contact with a huge number of people who share my interest and concern for these beautiful animals. Each member of this small army has added fuel to my enthusiasm as well as allowing me to accumulate the hard facts which make a book of this type possible. No doubt many of them will recognise their comments, contributions and suggestions in the following pages. The assistance of all these people is most gratefully acknowledged, even though their names may not appear.Several other people have accompanied me on field trips to various parts of the world and, without exception, have been unselfish in helping me to find, capture and photograph specimens, whilst others have given me free access to the animals in their collections for photographic purposes. These include the following: Bob Applegate, California Zoological Supply, Dallas Zoo, Bob Mailloux, Bill Montgomery, Mike Nolan, Jeff Nunan, John Pickett, San Diego Zoo, Terry Thatcher, Twycross Zoo, Philhpe de Vosjoli and Xotic Pets.Special thanks go to Lee Grismer and Stephen Peltz for permission to use photographs, as indicated. Finally, thanks to the editors at Cassell for their continued support.
