Description
While reptiles often receive an ambivalent reaction from the public, turtles and tortoises are surely the exception. People have kept them as pets for centuries and their affection for these creatures with attractively colored shells is reflected in art, literature, and popular culture. Noted naturalist David Alderton presents a comprehensive account of these fascinating creatures, featuring recent chelonian research.
