Abstract
A good field guide to any wildlife group includes an identification key, quality photographs, distribution maps, and a natural history summary. The recently published Field Guide to the Amphibians and Reptiles of Nebraska does not fail the reader in this regard, having all of these features and more. Dan Fogell effectively presents all 62 species of amphibians, turtles, and reptiles native to Nebraska as well as four additional species of possible occurrence within the state, and all in a useful and compact guide that can be toted easily on a hike or any other field expedition.
This long-overdue updated field guide to Nebraska's herpetofauna makes a significant contribution to Nebraska herpetology. It is practical, easy to read, and should be an integral tool for every field biologist, naturalist, and aspiring herpetologist in the state.
