Review Quotes: The authors suggest a number of ways in which landowners can manage their properties from the perspective of salamander habitat, including resources to guide in restoration of degraded areas. . . . They have presented a perfect circle of argument within the book's covers: salamanders are in trouble . . . and this is what you can do to help them out of trouble.--Jeff Boundy "Herpetological Review"
