The Amphibians of Tennessee is being published by the University of Tennessee Press. Whether you're a professional scientist or just someone who loves the outdoors, Tennessee has a rich biodiversity of amphibians. For the first time, these species are now compiled into a single volume that's both a field guide and a professional reference for biologists. The Amphibians of Tennessee provides detailed information on the frogs and salamanders of the state along with tips and advice on how to find them in the wild. The book also features vivid, up-close photography of many featured species, plus maps of where these amphibians make their home.
