Praise for "The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals ""A small treasure trove of information about the people whose names are immortalized in mammalian nomenclature. Given that we mammalogists are prone to ancestor worship, I expect it to be a best-seller."-- "Journal of Mammalian Evolution ""This is a great reference for the mammalogy professional or student, or the curious naturalist."-- "Wildlife Activist ""A splendid book which fills a real gap in zoological literature."-- "International Zoo News ""This is a unique resource for the curious."-- "Choice ""Useful and fascinating. "The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals" is recommended for public libraries and academic libraries, particularly those at schools with biology and veterinary programs."-- "American Reference Books Annual ""This is a fascinating book--highly readable--I didn't want to put it down."-- "Reference Reviews"
Who was Richard Kemp, after whom the Kemp's ridley sea turtle is named? Is Wake's Gecko named after Berkeley's Marvalee Wake? Or perhaps her husband, David? Why do so many snakes and lizards have Werner in their name? This reference book answers these and thousands of other questions about the origins of the vernacular and scientific names of reptiles across the globe. From Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti, the Florida cottonmouth subspecies named for Roger Conant, to Xantusia, the night lizard genera namesake of John Xantus, this dictionary covers everyone after whom an extant or recently extinct reptile has been named. The entries include a brief bio-sketch, a list of the reptiles that bear the individual's name, the names of reptiles erroneously thought to be associated with the person, and a summary of major--and sometimes obscure or even incidental--contributions made by the person to herpetology and zoology. An introductory chapter explains how to use the book and describes the process of naming taxa. Easy to use and filled with addictive--and highly useful--information about the people whose names will be carried into the future on the backs of the world's reptiles, The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles is a handy and fun book for professional and amateur herpetologists alike.
