This well-loved copy of “Amphibians and Reptiles in Colorado” by Geoffrey A. Hammerson offers a unique glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Centennial State. Published in 1986, this comprehensive guide was one of the earliest works to provide a detailed account of Colorado’s amphibian and reptile species, their habitats, and conservation efforts. Hammerson’s meticulous research and field observations, combined with his passion for these often-overlooked creatures, make this book a invaluable resource for naturalists, biologists, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Despite its age and the wear and tear it has endured over the years, this copy holds a special charm for collectors and readers alike. The creased spine and loosened pages are a testament to the countless hours spent poring over its pages, perhaps in preparation for a hiking expedition or a classroom lesson. The stains and scuffs on the cover serve as a reminder of the book’s journey through the rugged landscapes it so vividly describes, accompanying its owner on countless adventures in the great outdoors.
