<p><b>A lavishly illustrated guide to the world''s turtles that covers every family and genus</b><br><br><i>Turtles of the World</i> reveals the extraordinary diversity of these amazing reptiles.

Each genus profile includes a population distribution map, a table of information, and commentary that includes notable characteristics and discussion of related species.<br></p><ul><li>More than 250 beautiful color photos</li><li>Each profile features a distribution map, table of information, and commentary</li><li>Broad coverage includes every family and genus</li></ul>
