Customer Reviews

One of the most valuable travel books in my collection

This is an invaluable guide to weather in almost every region of the world. If not for this book, we would have frozen our a--es off in India last year, like just about every other traveler we met. Thanks to this book, we dressed appropriately. It's helped us prepare for many other trips. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Using this book for Reptiles and Amphibians

I've found this book to be a reliable resource for recreating enviroments for reptiles and amphibians. Once I started to follow the climate for Costa rica, I had them breeding within a few months... I feel that this should be a part of every Herp book collection
